Transmission of signals from nerves to muscles is critical for life, so substantial safety factor mechanisms have evolved to ensure its success. Despite this, diseases can impair even this robust system. Characterizing these disease mechanisms greatly contributes to understanding this fundamental process. Neuromuscular transmission serves as a model for helping to understand neurotransmission t...

متن کاملMechanisms of muscle weakness in muscular dystrophy
Disruption of dystrophin or the sarcoglycans within the dystrophin protein complex leads to muscular dystro-phy. The dystrophin complex is enriched in myofibers and concentrated into costameres, rib-like structures in the plasma membrane. In the absence of dystrophin, the plasma membrane becomes fragile with reduced stiffness and increased leakiness, and exposing dystro-phin-deficient muscle to...
