Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Objectives Sjögren's disease is an autoimmune disorder that can impact multiple organ systems, including the peripheral nervous system (PNS). PNS manifestations, which can exist concurrently, include mononeuropathies, polyneuropathies, and autonomic nervous system neuropathies. To help patients and providers in the decision‐making process, we developed

Motoneuron Wnts regulate neuromuscular junction development
eLife, 2018 The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synapse between motoneurons and skeletal muscles to control motor behavior. Unlike extensively investigated postsynaptic differentiation, less is known about mechanisms of presynaptic assembly.

SnapShot: Neuromuscular Junction
Cell, 2011 Agrin MuSK Dok-7Rapsyn AChR AChE ChAT Nav1.4Auto-antibodiesto AChRsAuto-antibodiesto MuSKHypomorphic mutations in thesegenes impair postsynaptic differentiation. The number of AChRs at synapses is reduced, which compromises the reliability of synaptic transmission and leads to muscle weakness and fatigue.
