Physical Activity Modulates Corticospinal Excitability of the Lower Limb in Young and Old Adults [PDF]

, 2017
Aging is associated with reduced neuromuscular function, which may be due in part to altered corticospinal excitability. Regular physical activity (PA) may ameliorate these age-related declines, but the influence of PA on corticospinal excitability is ...

Electrophysiological Evidence of Contralateral Neuromuscular Effects Following Long-Term Botulinum Toxin Therapy in Hemifacial Spasm

Toxins
Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a cranial nerve disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of muscles innervated by the facial nerve. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is widely used for symptom control.

Toll-Like Receptor 4 Modulates Small Intestine Neuromuscular Function through Nitrergic and Purinergic Pathways [PDF]

, 2017
Objective: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a pivotal role in the homeostatic microflora-host crosstalk. TLR4-mediated modulation of both motility and enteric neuronal survival has been reported mainly for colon with limited information on the role of ...

Remote Monitoring in Myasthenia Gravis: Exploring Symptom Variability

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare, autoimmune disorder characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness and potential life‐threatening crises. While continuous specialized care is essential, access barriers often delay timely interventions. To address this, we developed MyaLink, a telemedical platform for MG patients.

Age-related deficits in skeletal muscle recovery following disuse are associated with neuromuscular junction instability and ER stress, not impaired protein synthesis. [PDF]

, 2016
Age-related loss of muscle mass and strength can be accelerated by impaired recovery of muscle mass following a transient atrophic stimulus. The aim of this study was to identify the mechanisms underlying the attenuated recovery of muscle mass and ...

The Space Within: How Architected Voids Promote Tissue Formation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores the role of void spaces in tissue engineering scaffolds and examines four key methods for introducing porosity into hydrogels at different scales. It discusses sacrificial templating, microgels, phase separation, and 3D printing, highlighting principles, advantages, and limitations. It also addresses emerging strategies integrating
