Ultimately, this research can help us better understand and treat neuromuscular systems and better understand the diversity of this mechanism in our natural world. Muscle contraction provides ...

Normally when impulses travel down the nerve, the nerve endings release a neurotransmitter substance called acetylcholine, which travels through the short neuromuscular junction and results in the ...

Muscle contraction occurs when these myofilaments ... with muscles through the release of neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction, the space between a nerve cell and muscle fiber.

Cdk5 and p35 were prominently expressed in embryonic muscle, and concentrated at the neuromuscular junction in adulthood. Neuregulin increased the p35-associated Cdk5 kinase activity in the ...
