Researchers have identified a mechanism by which acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter best known for its role in muscle control and attention, can effectively commandeer serotonin release inside the ...

The Adapt Oculus trial is unique in that it includes a patient population often overlooked in clinical trials, patients ...

More than 60% of complement inhibitor–naive patients with acetylcholine receptor–positive generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) in diverse clinical populations had a clinically meaningful reduction in MG ...

Acetylcholine "conductors" in the striatum directly trigger serotonin release, offering new insights into the origins of OCD and chemical imbalances.

In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune condition that weakens the muscles in your body. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that helps your muscles move. Most people with generalized myasthenia gravis ...

In healthy people, binding of the molecule acetylcholine (ACh) to its receptor (AChR) on skeletal muscle cells triggers muscle contraction underlying regular daily activities. In the autoimmune ...

They discovered that these antibodies can disrupt the normal receptor functioning in a variety of ways. Certain antibodies block the regular acetylcholine binding process, the researchers found, while ...
