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 ...

James F. Howard Jr, MD, professor of neurology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, explains how nerve and muscle signaling in the neuromuscular junction go awry in myasthenia gravis.

After nerve injury, the protein complex mTORC1 takes over an important function in skeletal muscle to maintain the neuromuscular junction, the synapse between the nerve and muscle fiber. Researchers ...

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 ...

Neuromuscular disorders affect the nerves that control certain muscles in your body. Some examples include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Neuromuscular disorders ...
