Decades of research in skeletal muscle physiology have provided multiscale insights into
the structural and functional complexity of this important anatomical tissue, designed to …

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a highly specialized synapse between a motor neuron
nerve terminal and its muscle fiber that are responsible for converting electrical impulses …

Barrier tissue immune responses are regulated in part by nociceptors. Nociceptor ablation
alters local immune responses at peripheral sites and within draining lymph nodes (LNs) …

Abstract Changes in the neuromuscular system affecting the ageing motor unit manifest
structurally as a reduction in motor unit number secondary to motor neuron loss; fibre type …

Synapses, the fundamental unit in neuronal circuits, are critical for learning and memory,
perception, thinking, and reaction. The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synapse formed …

The neuromuscular junction is the chemical synapse between motor neurons and skeletal
muscle fibers. It is designed to reliably convert the action potential from the presynaptic …

Satellite cells are tissue resident muscle stem cells required for postnatal skeletal muscle
growth and repair through replacement of damaged myofibers. Muscle regeneration is …

A comprehensive transcriptomic survey of pigs can provide a mechanistic understanding of
tissue specialization processes underlying economically valuable traits and accelerate their …

Key points Few days of unloading are sufficient to induce a decline of skeletal muscle mass
and function; notably, contractile force is lost at a faster rate than muscle mass. The reasons …

An astonishing number of extracellular matrix glycoproteins are expressed in dynamic
patterns in the developing and adult nervous system. Neural stem cells, neurons, and glia …
