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 ...

Researchers review pulmonary function testing measures that span 4 categories that can assess the respiratory muscle dysfunction that happens in diseases like spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Muscle ...

A review of instruments used to assess upper-limb function in patients with neuromuscular diseases found that more tools are needed to address specific diseases. In most neuromuscular diseases (NMDs), ...

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 ...

Multiple sclerosis is characterised by central nervous system inflammation and demyelination, which lead to neurodegeneration and impaired neural drive to skeletal muscle. As a result, individuals ...

Simultaneously achieving ultra-softness, ultrahigh sensitivity and mechanical resiliency is a major challenge for wearable electronics and soft machines. The soft yet wearable sensors with their ...
