An international research team led by a University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine investigator has revealed ultra-detailed ...

An international research team has mapped the millisecond-by-millisecond process by which nerve signals activate muscles, uncovering a previously unseen “primed” intermediate step.

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 ...

Neuromuscular diseases are caused by problems in the way muscle cells, motor neurons, and peripheral cells interact. Researchers from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz ...

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

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a recent study published in Biomaterials, a team of researchers led by Hesperos Chief Scientist Dr. J. Hickman established a significant finding to better understand ...

A research group from the Sackler Faculty of Medicine and the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University uncovered, for the first time, the biological mechanism causing nerve destruction in ...

Skeletal muscles enable voluntary movements and are controlled by a special type of neurons called motor neurons, which make direct contact with skeletal muscles through so-called neuromuscular ...

Monica Seles, the former tennis star, has experienced a couple of rare misfortunes in her life. In April 1993, Seles was ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Neuromuscular junctions of the frog, Rana pipiens, were examined for structural modifications produced by exposure to increased and reduced ...

Frog neuromuscular junction fly-through. Shown in red is a large muscle fiber (diameter 50 micrometers) that is innervated by a myelinated axon colored in white. The interface between muscle and axon ...
