Now, NIBIB-funded researchers have found a way to model the ... NIBIB The neuromuscular junction is essentially comprised of two different types of cells: skeletal muscle cells and a type of ...

which make direct contact with skeletal muscles through so-called neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). It is through NMJs that skeletal muscles receive signals making them contract or relax.

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ ... as a genetic model for trained mice to elucidate the contribution of skeletal muscle to activity-induced adaptation of the NMJ. We find that muscle-specific ...

Results from the MPS disease model indicated a significant reduction in the number of functional neuromuscular junctions (NMJ’s), stability of those NMJ’s that did form, and an increased ...

To establish the 2D self-organizing neuromuscular junction model, the researchers first had to understand how motor neurons and muscle cells develop in the embryo. “We tested a number of hypotheses.

"In this study we set out to understand the molecular details involved in muscle contraction at the point of contact between motor neurons and skeletal muscles, which are the muscles we ...

Neuromuscular disorders may affect the peripheral nerves, skeletal muscles, or neuromuscular junction (where the nerves and muscles meet). This condition leads to the loss of nerve cells in the ...

Aarhus, Denmark, 25 March 2025 – NMD Pharma A/S, a clinical-stage biotech company dedicated to developing novel and improved treatments for patients living with neuromuscular diseases, today ...
