Autoimmune Channelopathies at Neuromuscular Junction
Frontiers in Neurology, 2019 The neuromuscular junction, also called myoneural junction, is a site of chemical communication between a nerve fiber and a muscle cell. There are many types of channels at neuromuscular junction that play indispensable roles in neuromuscular signal ...

NAD+ improves neuromuscular development in a zebrafish model of FKRP-associated dystroglycanopathy
Skeletal Muscle, 2019 Background Secondary dystroglycanopathies are muscular dystrophies that result from mutations in genes that participate in Dystroglycan glycosylation.

Juvenile Neuromuscular Systems Show Amplified Disturbance to Muscle Unloading
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Muscle unloading results in severe disturbance in neuromuscular function. During juvenile stages of natural development, the neuromuscular system experiences a high degree of plasticity in function and structure.

DOXAPRAM AND THE NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION †
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1989 We have studied the action of doxapram on neuromuscular transmission in the rat phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparation. Doxapram augmented neuromuscular transmission in a dose-related manner when a threshold concentration of 5 x 10(-5) mol litre-1 had been exceeded.

Rejuvenation of the aged neuromuscular junction by exercise
Cell Stress, 2018 Age-dependent declines in muscle function are observed across species. The loss of mobility resulting from the decline in muscle function represents an important health issue and a key determinant of quality of life for the elderly.

THE NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION DISORDERS [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2003 Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) disorders result from destruction, malfunction or absence of one or more key proteins involved in neuromuscular transmission, illustrated diagrammatically in fig 1. The most common pathology is antibody mediated damage or down regulation of ion channels or receptors, resulting in myasthenia gravis (MG), Lambert-Eaton ...

Reconstruction of the neuromuscular junction connectome [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2010 Abstract Motivation: Unraveling the structure and behavior of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) has always been a major goal of neuroscience. Understanding the wiring diagrams of the neuromuscular junction connectomes (full connectivity of nervous system neuronal components) is a starting point for this, as it helps in the study

Mitochondrial Mechanisms of Neuromuscular Junction Degeneration with Aging
Cells, 2020 Skeletal muscle deteriorates with aging, contributing to physical frailty, poor health outcomes, and increased risk of mortality. Denervation is a major driver of changes in aging muscle.

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase absolutely required for neuromuscular junction formation. MuSK is activated by binding of motor neuron-derived Agrin to low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 4 (Lrp4), which forms a ...
