LRP4 Is Critical for Neuromuscular Junction Maintenance

Journal of Neuroscience, 2014
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synapse between motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers, and is critical for control of muscle contraction. Its formation requires neuronal agrin that acts by binding to LRP4 to stimulate MuSK.

Modulation of Microglia by Voluntary Exercise or CSF1R Inhibition Prevents Age-Related Loss of Functional Motor Units

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Age-related loss of skeletal muscle innervation by motor neurons leads to impaired neuromuscular function and is a well-established clinical phenomenon. However, the underlying pathogenesis remains unclear. Studying mice, we find that the number

From in vivo models to in vitro bioengineered neuromuscular junctions for the study of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease

Journal of Tissue Engineering
Peripheral neuropathies are disorders affecting the peripheral nervous system. Among them, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is an inherited sensorimotor neuropathy for which no effective treatment exists yet.

ROLE of exercise in maintaining the integrity of the neuromuscular junction

Muscle and Nerve, 2014
Physical activity plays an important role in preventing chronic disease in adults and the elderly. Exercise has beneficial effects on the nervous system, including at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ).

Morphological and functional remodeling of the neuromuscular junction by skeletal muscle PGC-1α

Nature Communications, 2014
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) exhibits high morphological and functional plasticity. In the mature muscle, the relative levels of physical activity are the major determinants of NMJ function.

The Role of Muscle microRNAs in Repairing the Neuromuscular Junction

PLoS ONE, 2014
microRNAs have been implicated in mediating key aspects of skeletal muscle development and responses to diseases and injury. Recently, we demonstrated that a synaptically enriched microRNA, miR-206, functions to promote maintenance and repair of the ...
