Rejuvenation of the aged neuromuscular junction by exercise [PDF]
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.

Autoimmune Channelopathies at Neuromuscular Junction [PDF]
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 ...

A synaptic nidogen: Developmental regulation and role of nidogen-2 at the neuromuscular junction [PDF]
Neural Development, 2008 Background The skeletal neuromuscular junction is a useful model for elucidating mechanisms that regulate synaptogenesis. Developmentally important intercellular interactions at the neuromuscular junction are mediated by the synaptic portion of a basal ...

Role of Neuromuscular Junction Monitoring in Management of a Postpartum Eclamptic Patient with Iatrogenic Hypermagnesemia [PDF]
The Indian Anaesthetists' Forum, 2010 Accidental hypermagnesemia is a common and often missed complication during treatment in a postpartum eclamptic patient. As symptomatic hypermagnesemia leads to neuromuscular junction blockade, neuromuscular junction monitoring serves the purpose of ...

Total ganglioside ablation at mouse motor nerve terminals alters neurotransmitter release level [PDF]
, 2010 Neuronal membrane gangliosides, forming a large family of sialylated glycosphingolipids, have been hypothesized to play important roles in synaptic transmission.

PGC-1alpha regulates the neuromuscular junction program and ameliorates Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]
, 2007 The coactivator PGC-1alpha mediates key responses of skeletal muscle to motor nerve activity. We show here that neuregulin-stimulated phosphorylation of PGC-1alpha and GA-binding protein (GABP) allows recruitment of PGC-1alpha to the GABP complex and ...

Autoantibody Testing in Neuromuscular Disorders [PDF]
, 2022 Autoantibodies are present in many autoimmune disorders, including diseases impacting the peripheral nerve, neuromuscular junction, and muscle. Some of these autoantibodies play a vital role in pathogenesis, whereas others are unlikely to be directly ...

Agrin regulates CLASP2-mediated capture of microtubules at the neuromuscular junction synaptic membrane [PDF]
, 2012 Agrin is the major factor mediating the neuronal regulation of postsynaptic structures at the vertebrate neuromuscular junction, but the details of how it orchestrates this unique three-dimensional structure remain unknown.
