Contribution of Neuromuscular Junction Degradation to Muscle Decline in Burn Patients
Burn injuries cause severe muscle wasting and weakness. However, the relative contribution of neuromuscular junction (NMJ) degradation remains elusive. We investigated the associations of plasma c-terminal agrin fragment-22 (CAF22), a marker of NMJ degradation, with muscle decline in burn patients. We recruited male pa …
