Human-on-a-chip technology could provide a more valuable clinical-based model for ALS.
A neurotoxin found in snake venom allowed researchers to uncover a detailed shape of nicotinic receptors involved in muscle contractions.
Strength training may negatively impact endurance muscles. BDNF, which is increased during strength training and helps strength muscles to develop, decreases endurance muscle fibers.
Schwann cells help protect nerves against blood clotting factors that cause degeneration, researchers report.
Researchers report nitric oxide plays a key role in regulating neural function. The findings shed new light on how neurodegeneration may occur.
Researchers have identified a naturally occurring molecule that has the potential for preserving sites of communication between nerves and muscles in ALS.
A new study looks at the role glutamate plays in neuromuscular development.
Vocal training of older rats reduces some of the voice problems associated with aging, new research suggests. The findings could help treat people with presbyphonia.
