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 …

▪ Abstract We describe the formation, maturation, elimination, maintenance, and
regeneration of vertebrate neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), the best studied of all synapses …

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an antibody-mediated autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular
junction. In approximately 80% of patients, auto-antibodies to the muscle nicotinic …

The postsynaptic apparatus of the skeletal neuromuscular junction, like that of other
synapses, contains a high-density patch of neurotransmitter receptors that is closely …

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by a defect in synaptic
transmission at the neuromuscular junction causing fluctuating muscle weakness with a …

Objectives To determine whether patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) have serum
antibodies to lipoprotein-related protein 4 (LRP4), a newly identified receptor for agrin that is …

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ).
Autoantibodies target key molecules at the NMJ, such as the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor …

Antibodies to rat muscle specific kinase, MuSK, have recently been identified in some
generalized “seronegative” myasthenia gravis (SNMG) patients, who are often females with …

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is the most common disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction
(NMJ). MG is frequently caused by autoantibodies against acetylcholine receptor (AChR) …

Synapses are the fundamental units of neural circuits that enable complex behaviors. The
neuromuscular junction (NMJ), a synapse formed between a motoneuron and a muscle …
