The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) constitutes a specialised synapse between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fibre, orchestrating voluntary movement via rapid conversion of electrical impulses into ...

Autoimmune neuromuscular diseases may sound complex, but understanding them is the first step to getting the right care and support. Conditions such as Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), ...

An international research team led by a University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine investigator has revealed ultra-detailed intricacies in how nerve signals activate at the neuromuscular junction, a ...

New data suggest motor function improves with amifampridine. New phase 2 data for the spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) therapy amifampridine (Ruzurgi) suggests the drug is safe and effective at improving ...

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 ...

Scientists at the University of California San Diego have uncovered how genetic mutations cause a rare group of inherited neuromuscular disorders and identified promising new strategies to correct ...

New research shows how repetitive nerve stimulation and single fiber electromyography can help diagnose disorders such as myasthenia gravis. A new report highlights the strengths and shortcomings of ...
