Examining neural etiologic factors' role in the decline of neuromuscular function with aging
is essential to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying sarcopenia, the age …

We here review the loss of muscle function and mass (sarcopenia) in the framework of
human healthspan and lifespan, and mechanisms involved in aging. The rapidly changing …

The escalation of life expectancy is accompanied by an increase in the prevalence of age-
related conditions, such as sarcopenia. Sarcopenia, a muscle condition defined by low …

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the chemical synapse connecting motor neurons and
skeletal muscle fibers. NMJs allow all voluntary movements, and ensure vital functions like …

Neuromuscular junctions are the synapses between motor neurons and skeletal muscle
fibers, which mediate voluntary muscle movement. Since neuromuscular junctions are also …

Neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are the key interface between terminal nerves and targeted
muscle, which undergo degeneration during denervation periods. Denervation-related …

Aims Although it is well established that skeletal muscle contains oxytocin (OT) receptors
and OT-knockout mice show premature development of sarcopenia, the role of OT in …

Sarcopenia seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly, but its molecular mechanism is
still unclear. Degeneration in muscle innervation is related to age-related movement …

Recent studies have demonstrated that neuromuscular junctions are co-innervated by
sympathetic neurons. This co-innervation has been shown to be crucial for neuromuscular …

Our previous studies indicated that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) alleviates
hyperoxia-induced lung injury and suggested the possible involvement of autophagy in this …
