Bioengineered model of the human motor unit with physiologically functional neuromuscular junctions

2020-05-05

Abstract excerpt

Investigations of the human neuromuscular junction (NMJ) have predominately utilised experimental animals and model organisms. Consequently, there remains a paucity of data regarding the development of the human NMJ and a lack of systems that enable temporal investigation of the motor unit. This work addresses this need, providing the methodologies to bioengineer 3D models of the human motor unit. Separate maturat...
