IT is generally agreed that the muscular weakness and exaggerated proneness to fatigue characteristic of myasthenia gravis are related to a failure of neuromuscular transmission. The mechanism ...

Neuromuscular blockade is an essential component of modern anaesthetic practice, enabling muscle relaxation during surgery and facilitating procedures such as tracheal intubation and minimally ...

During aging, skeletal muscles become atrophic and lose contractile force. This affects a large population of elderly regardless of ethnicity, gender, and wealth and is the most common cause of ...

A research group from the Sackler Faculty of Medicine and the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University uncovered, for the first time, the biological mechanism causing nerve destruction in ...

Safe prescribing practices can be particularly difficult in patients with MG due to myriad medications that can interfere with neuromuscular transmission. While the mechanism by which drugs affect the ...

In the research focus of the Applied Cell Biology, we investigate space-induced changes in the cellular mechanisms of neuronal cells. We use model systems relevant to human health, such as human and ...
