Presynaptic facilitation at the crayfish neuromuscular junction: Role of calcium-activated potassium conductance [PDF]
, 1991 Membrane potential was recorded intracellularly near presynaptic terminals of the excitor axon of the crayfish opener neuromuscular junction (NMJ), while transmitter release was recorded postsynaptically.

Translating Muscle RNAseq Into the Clinic for the Diagnosis of Muscle Diseases
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Approximately half of patients with hereditary myopathies remain without a definitive genetic diagnosis after DNA next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Here, we implemented transcriptome analysis of muscle biopsies as a complementary diagnostic tool for patients with muscle disease but no definitive genetic diagnosis after exome ...

Congenital myasthenic syndromes and the therapeutic modulation of the neuromuscular junction [PDF]
, 2019 PhD ThesisImpairment of neuromuscular transmission at the neuromuscular junction is a primary pathomechanism of many human conditions. The congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are caused by primary genetic defects which reduce the efficacy of ...

Engineering Assembloids to Mimic Graft‐Host Skeletal Muscle Interaction
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study develops a graft‐host skeletal muscle assembloid model combining neuromuscular organoids with tissue‐engineered constructs. Pre‐seeding decellularized muscles with myogenic cells enhances cell migration and axon invasion from the organoid. The model exhibits regenerative capacity following acute damage, advancing the understanding of human ...

Nitric oxide regulates skeletal muscle fatigue, fiber type, microtubule organization, and mitochondrial ATP synthesis efficiency through cGMP-dependent mechanisms [PDF]
, 2016 Aim: Skeletal muscle nitric oxide–cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-cGMP) pathways are impaired in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy partly because of reduced nNOSμ and soluble guanylate cyclase (GC) activity.

Structured Light Projection Using Image Guide Fibers for In Situ Photo‐biofabrication
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Light‐based biofabrication is typically performed with single wavelength light sources and within benchtop devices. This work demonstrates FaSt‐Light (Fiber‐assisted Structured Light) as a new approach to achieve multiwavelength image projection using flexible image guide fibers, which enables a variety of applications for in situ biofabrication ...

ATP Released by Injured Neurons Activates Schwann Cells [PDF]
, 2016 Injured nerve terminals of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) can regenerate. This remarkable and complex response is governed by molecular signals that are exchanged among the cellular components of this synapse: motor axon nerve terminal (MAT ...
