ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hesperos, Inc. has increased its pioneering human-on-a-chip drug testing capabilities by adding a new in vitro, human-human neuromuscular model to its patented ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a human-derived neuromuscular junction from a person with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with the goal of testing anti-ALS drugs that not only prevent neuronal death but ...

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 ...

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a specialised synapse responsible for translating neuronal signals into muscle contractions, forming the basis of voluntary movement and postural control. Integral ...

The distribution and function of sympathetic innervation in skeletal muscle have largely remained elusive. Here we demonstrate that sympathetic neurons make close contact with neuromuscular junctions ...

In an aging society, one of the most important and urgent tasks of scientific research is to counteract the decline in motor function and muscle weakness that accompanies the aging process. A research ...

Approximately 70 to 300 million individuals worldwide are living with myasthenia gravis, an antibody-mediated autoimmune disorder that adversely affects neuromuscular junction function. “Research has ...
