After nerve injury, the protein complex mTORC1 takes over an important function in skeletal muscle to maintain the neuromuscular junction, the synapse between the nerve and muscle fiber. Researchers ...

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 ...

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a recent study published in Biomaterials, a team of researchers led by Hesperos Chief Scientist Dr. J. Hickman established a significant finding to better understand ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Hybridoma techniques have been used to generate monoclonal antibodies to an antigen concentrated in the basal lamina at the Xenopus laevis ...

Using powerful new visualization technologies, researchers have captured the first 3-D images of the structure of a key muscle receptor, providing new insights on how muscles develop across the animal ...

TAK1 regulates the activation of multiple signaling pathways in skeletal muscle. However, the role and mechanisms by which TAK1 regulates skeletal muscle mass remain less understood. Now, a mouse ...
