Myasthenia gravis is a rare and invalidating disease affecting the neuromuscular junction of voluntary muscles. The classical form of this autoimmune disease is characterized by the presence of antibodies against the most abundant protein in the ...

Agrin regulates CLASP2-mediated capture of microtubules at the neuromuscular junction synaptic membrane [PDF]
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.

Differential localization of glutamate receptor subunits at the drosophila neuromuscular junction [PDF]
The subunit composition of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors is a key determinant of synaptic physiology. Two glutamate receptor subunits, Drosophila glutamate receptor IIA (DGluRIIA) and DGluRIIB, are expressed at the Drosophila neuromuscular ...

Denervation-Related Neuromuscular Junction Changes: From Degeneration to Regeneration
Neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are the key interface between terminal nerves and targeted muscle, which undergo degeneration during denervation periods. Denervation-related NMJs changes limits the recovery level of nerve repair strategies.

NAD+ improves neuromuscular development in a zebrafish model of FKRP-associated dystroglycanopathy
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
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.

Neuromuscular synaptic function in mice lacking major subsets of gangliosides [PDF]
Gangliosides are a family of sialylated glycosphingolipids enriched in the outer leaflet of neuronal membranes, in particular at synapses. Therefore, they have been hypothesized to play a functional role in synaptic transmission.

DOXAPRAM AND THE NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION †
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.

Agrin promotes acetylcholine receptor clustering at the mammalian neuro-muscular junction by PI3K/GSK3ß²-mediated regulation of +TIPs and microtubule capture [PDF]
Neurotransmission an der neuromuskulären Endplatte von Säugetieren erfolgt durch Ausschüttung von Acetylcholin (ACh) aus motorischen Nerven in den synaptischen Spalt und verursacht letztendlich Muskelkontraktion im angesteuerten Muskel.
