Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Spinal muscle atrophy is a genetic disorder. Most forms of SMA are caused by mutations of the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) on the fifth chromosome, resulting in insufficient expression levels ...

We validated previous observations of neuronal cell number changes and muscle fiber distribution. We found that the increase in neuron cell number tends to lag behind the rapid expansion of somatic ...

The findings were presented at the Muscular Dystrophy Association‘s 2025 MDA Clinical & Scientific Conference, held March 16-19, in the talk, “Restoration of motor neuron function ... also led to more ...

Introduction Patients with ventilator-dependent motor neuron disease (MND) may request withdrawal of their assisted ventilation. Facilitating this process as a healthcare professional (HCP) can be ...

An evolutionarily conserved micropeptide, Sertm2, encoded by the lncRNA A730046J19Rik, promotes Etv4 + motor neuron subtype specification by GDNF, proper neurite development, and motor function.

Professor Robert Pitceathly has been appointed as the next Head of Research Department of Neuromuscular Diseases at the UCL ... spearheaded a very successful internationally recognised motor neuron ...

RANDLEMAN, N.C. – Hendrick Motorsports’ pit department kicked off Victory Junction’s “NASCARnival” on Tuesday, bringing excitement and joy to the campers. PHOTOS: Enjoying the excitement at Victory ...

Growing evidence demonstrates a continuous interaction between the immune system, the nerve and the muscle in neuromuscular disorders of different ... through vessels present at the corticomedullary ...

we compared the anatomical nodes and neuronal populations labeled following rabies virus injection and found that fiber-types also impacts viral uptake. First, we observed spinal motor neuron labeling ...
