Diverse combinations of glutamate receptor subunits are expressed across developmental stages and even between adjacent ...

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 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 ...

A skeletal muscle isn’t much use without a signal telling it to move. In vertebrates, this signaling happens at the neuromus-cular junction (NMJ), a synaptic connection between motor neurons and ...

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a University of Michigan study. Nearly all animals use muscle to move, and it's been known for a long ...

Schematic representation of axonal transport vesicles (blue) carrying presynaptic proteins (SV and AZ proteins). Kinesin motor proteins (KIF1A) attach these vesicles and carry them along the axons to ...
