Homeostatic control of Drosophila neuromuscular junction function
Synapse, 2019 The ability to adapt to changing internal and external conditions is a key feature of biological systems. Homeostasis refers to a regulatory process that stabilizes dynamic systems to counteract perturbations.

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 ...

Salbutamol modifies the neuromuscular junction in a mouse model of ColQ myasthenic syndrome
Human Molecular Genetics, 2019 The β-adrenergic agonists salbutamol and ephedrine have proven to be effective as therapies for human disorders of the neuromuscular junction, in particular many subsets of congenital myasthenic syndromes. However, the mechanisms underlying this clinical

Clinical relevance of terminal Schwann cells: An overlooked component of the neuromuscular junction
Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2018 The terminal Schwann cell (tSC), a type of nonmyelinating Schwann cell, is a significant yet relatively understudied component of the neuromuscular junction.

The Neuromuscular Junction and Wide Heterogeneity of Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are genetic disorders characterised by impaired neuromuscular transmission. This review provides an overview on CMS and highlights recent advances in the field, including novel CMS causative genes and improved ...

Neuromuscular Junction Dismantling in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017 Neuromuscular junction assembly and plasticity during embryonic, postnatal, and adult life are tightly regulated by the continuous cross-talk among motor nerve endings, muscle fibers, and glial cells.

Newcomb–Benford’s Law in Neuromuscular Transmission: Validation in Hyperkalemic Conditions
Stats, 2023 Recently, we demonstrated the validity of the anomalous numbers law, known as Newcomb–Benford’s law, in mammalian neuromuscular transmission, considering different extracellular calcium.
