Photobiomodulation as an Approach to Restore Lost Function in Neuromuscular Junctions (opens in new tab)

Evidence suggests that one of the major components of muscle aging is degeneration of neuromuscular junctions, the structures linking the nervous system to muscle fibers. Absent the signaling from nervous system to muscle, muscles will degenerate. That signaling is necessary for muscle tissue maintenance and growth. Thus a loss of function in neuromuscular junctions will contribute to the characteristic age-related loss of muscle mass and strength that leads inexorably to the line in the sand...
