Abstract:Neuromuscular Disorders 31 (2021) S47-S162 Acta1 (H40Y) knock-in mouse model of the disease. We found the presence of fragmented neuromuscular junctions in various muscles, ultrastructural changes in the post-synaptic region, and increased fatigability of the diaphragm upon repeated electrophysiological nerve stimulation in mutant mice. In addition, molecular changes were present in gastrocnemius muscle of Acta1 (H40Y) mice at 1 month of age, when signs of the pathology are present, with deregulated expression… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
