Human embryos are more muscle-bound than adult humans, new microscope images cataloging early development show. For instance, at seven weeks of gestation, embryonic hands have about 30 muscles. Adults ...
A research group conducted experiments using aged mice to demonstrate that muscle denervation at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ, *1) could be appreciably offset by an NMJ formation-enhancing ...
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has been detected on the plasma membrane of about 25% of the axons in the longitudinal smooth muscle tissue of guinea pig vas deferens. These axons are presumably ...
Congenital innervation dysgenesis syndrome (CID)/congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (CCDDs)
Congenital loss of innervation to the extra-ocular muscles (EOMs) can have a profound effect on the target muscle. This has been well recognised in Duane's retraction syndrome. However, it has been ...
Scientists have made strides turning stem cells into motor neurons, but a motor neuron by itself is not much use—it’s only when it innervates a muscle that it can get things moving. Now, for the first ...
