The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the specialised synapse that facilitates communication between motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibres, orchestrating voluntary movement. Recent research ...

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 ...

The muscle transmembrane protein Vangl2 helps organize the development and maintenance of connections between muscles and motor neurons, a study concludes. A skeletal muscle isn’t much use without a ...

Although WNTs have been long thought of as regulators of cell fate, recent studies highlight their involvement in crucial aspects of synaptic development in the nervous system. Particularly compelling ...
