Neuromuscular diseases are caused by problems in the way muscle cells, motor neurons, and peripheral cells interact. Researchers from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz ...

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hesperos, Inc. has increased its pioneering human-on-a-chip drug testing capabilities by adding a new in vitro, human-human neuromuscular model to its patented ...

Scientists have so far identified around 800 different neuromuscular diseases. These conditions are caused by problems in the way muscle cells, motor neurons and peripheral cells interact. These ...

Skeletal muscles enable voluntary movements and are controlled by a special type of neurons called motor neurons, which make direct contact with skeletal muscles through so-called neuromuscular ...

Though motor neurons are the primary victims in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, it is their waning connections with muscles that ultimately triggers symptoms of the disease. This complex interaction ...

Company presented clinical and preclinical data at the MDA Conference last week in Dallas, Texas Oral presentation included data from MuSK-MG rat model depicting increases in muscle function and ...

Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMSs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders that affect the safety margin of neuromuscular transmission — the depolarization that is required for propagation of the ...

It is important to understand the principles of normal neuromuscular transmission when using neuromuscular blocking agents. The neuromuscular junction consists of the motor-nerve terminus, the ...
