Microfluidic Models of Neuromuscular Junctions

Abstract

like Duchenne's and Becker's muscular dystrophies 4 auto-immune diseases like myasthenia gravis, 5 to name a few. To comprehend and unveil the basic functioning of a neuromuscular junction and the disorders associated with it requires modeling of NMJ on an in vitro platform that is able to delineate fundamental aspects related to formation and maintenance of NMJ.
