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.

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

It is important to understand the principles of normal neuromuscular transmission when using neuromuscular blocking agents. The neuromuscular junction consists of the motor-nerve terminus, the ...

Here they use single nuclei RNA-seq to identify transcripts in skeletal muscle that maintain the neuromuscular junction, both under normal and denervated conditions, which allows them to characterize ...

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 ...

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 ...
