The formation of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is directed by reciprocal interactions between motor neurons and muscle fibers. Neuregulin (NRG) and Agrin from motor nerve terminals are both ...
Using powerful new visualization technologies, researchers have captured the first 3-D images of the structure of a key muscle receptor, providing new insights on how muscles develop across the animal ...
Scattered throughout skeletal muscle, the muscle spindles are composed of connective tissue capsules containing bundles of specialized muscle fibers called intrafusal fibers. Wrapped around the middle ...
While NGF can be detected in periosteal osteoprogenitor cells in intact bone, NGF protein has also been detected in osteoprogenitor cells, marrow stromal cells, osteoblasts, some chondrocytes, ...
A recent article highlights the critical importance of skeletal muscle mass in the context of medically induced weight loss, particularly with the widespread use of GLP-1 receptor agonists. These ...
After complete transection of a nerve, good neuroanastomosis is needed to prevent the formation of fibrous connective tissues that form obstacles to nerve regeneration, and to facilitate repair of the ...
A research team led by Prof. Chen Yan and Prof. Yang Lifeng from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed a physiological function of monocarboxylate ...
