New research has identified the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1) as a new therapeutic target for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In preclinical DMD mouse models, investigators demonstrated ...

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 ...

After nerve injury, the protein complex mTORC1 takes over an important function in skeletal muscle to maintain the neuromuscular junction, the synapse between the nerve and muscle fiber. Researchers ...

New data suggest motor function improves with amifampridine. New phase 2 data for the spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) therapy amifampridine (Ruzurgi) suggests the drug is safe and effective at improving ...

Although WNTs have been long thought of as regulators of cell fate, recent studies highlight their involvement in crucial aspects of synaptic development in the nervous system. Particularly compelling ...
