Here they use single nuclei RNA-seq to identify transcripts in skeletal muscle that maintain the neuromuscular junction, both under normal and denervated conditions, which allows them to ...

Skeletal muscle organoids (SKMOs), neuromuscular organoids (NMOs), and assembloids have emerged as powerful in vitro models that simulate the intricate cellular interactions between muscle and nerve, ...

Respiratory muscles are the only skeletal muscles vital to life. Surgical procedures can affect the respiratory muscles by a number of pathophysiological mechanisms including thoracoabdominal ...

In myasthenia gravis, complement plays a big role in what happens to the muscle end of the neuromuscular junction, explains Miriam Freimer, MD, an author on 5 abstracts presented at the recent 15th ...

Skeletal muscle articles from across Nature Portfolio Skeletal muscle is a subtype of muscle formed of bundles of elongated, cylindrical, multinucleate muscle fibres arranged in a striated pattern.

Walking exercise is the most effective noninvasive therapy that improves walking ability in peripheral artery disease (PAD). Biologic mechanisms by which exercise improves walking in PAD are unclear.

Skeletal muscle Skeletal muscles are the only muscles that a person can consciously control. They are attached to bones, and contracting the muscles causes movement of those bones.

Fast-twitch muscles are responsible for high-intensity work like heavy lifting and sprinting. Here's how to build them and keep them healthy.

Learn what PNF stretching is, including how it works and how it can help you improve your flexibility and strengthen your muscles.

Get expert-reviewed insights into musculoskeletal pain, its causes, symptoms, how it’s diagnosed, and the best ways to manage it.

An electrical signal travels down the neuron. When it reaches the neuromuscular junction, it causes the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into the space between the neuron and muscle cell.

Figure 1 shows a schematic summary of the molecular mechanisms regulated by physical exercise that are related to increased glucose uptake in skeletal muscle.We presented information showing that ...
