The neuromuscular junction - where nerves and muscle fibers meet - is an essential synapse for muscle contraction and movement. Improper function of these junctions can lead to the development of ...
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 ...
James F. Howard Jr, MD, professor of neurology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, explains how nerve and muscle signaling in the neuromuscular junction go awry in myasthenia gravis.
Grey’s Anatomy alum Steven W. Bailey has been diagnosed with a rare neuromuscular disorder known as Congenital Myasthenia ...
This patient presented with the gradual onset of progressive weakness that eventually involved all four extremities. The pattern of weakness suggested localization to the muscle, neuromuscular ...
Single-fibre electromyography (SFEMG) is a refined neurophysiological technique that permits the recording of electrical activity from individual muscle fibres, thereby enabling the precise evaluation ...
