Small junction, big problems: Neuromuscular junction pathology in mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Abrar Alhindi et al.

Summary: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease with a heterogeneous clinical and genetic phenotype, and mouse models have shown variable disease progression at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Models with SOD1, TARDBP, and FUS mutations exhibit early NMJ dysfunction as a common factor, while C9ORF72 models do not follow the same pattern. Further study into the timing of NMJ pathology in newer ALS mouse models will confirm its pivotal role in ALS pathogenesis.

How neurons exploit fractal geometry to optimize their network connectivity

Julian H. Smith et al.

Summary: The study investigates the fractal nature of neurons and its impact on functionality, showing that modifying dendritic patterns can create neurons with different fractal dimensions. The optimization of network cooperation reflects changes in neuron connectivity and associated costs, influencing healthy and pathological neurons as well as connections to medical implants.

NMJ-Analyser identifies subtle early changes in mouse models of neuromuscular disease

Alan Mejia Maza et al.

Summary: The study describes the development of 'NMJ-Analyser' which can comprehensively screen the morphology and innervation status of neuromuscular junctions and diagnose degeneration through machine learning. Results show that NMJ-Analyser can accurately identify healthy and aberrant neuromuscular synapses, making it a robust platform for systematic and structural screening of NMJs.

Cross-talk between motor neurons and myotubes via endogenously secreted neural and muscular growth factors

Jasdeep Saini et al.

Summary: Research on the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is essential for understanding neuromuscular patho-physiology and developing new therapies for related diseases. The micro-environment surrounding the NMJ plays a crucial role in NMJ formation and maintenance by promoting the secretion of neurotrophic factors through cross-talk between muscle fibers and motor neurons. In vitro studies have shown the establishment of functional NMJs in co-culture conditions without exogenous neural growth factors, indicating a potential regenerative niche for NMJ formation and maturation.
