The neuromuscular junction - where nerves and muscle fibers meet - is an essential synapse for muscle contraction and movement. Improper function of these junctions can lead to the development of ...

A recent review article titled "The Role of Rapsyn in Neuromuscular Junction and Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome" has been published by researchers from Nanchang University in China. Led by first ...

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the specialised synapse that facilitates communication between motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibres, orchestrating voluntary movement. Recent research ...

The muscle transmembrane protein Vangl2 helps organize the development and maintenance of connections between muscles and motor neurons, a study concludes. A skeletal muscle isn’t much use without a ...

This week we are going to discuss a topic that we had briefly touched on earlier, the neurologic autoimmune conditions: myasthenia gravis and Lambert Eaton Syndrome (LEMS). To review: Myasthenia ...

Scientists have so far identified around 800 different neuromuscular diseases. These conditions are caused by problems in the way muscle cells, motor neurons and peripheral cells interact. These ...
