Mechanisms Regulating Neuromuscular Junction Development and Function and Causes of Muscle Wasting.

abstract：:The 1910-1913 Terra Nova Expedition to the Antarctic, led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott, was a venture of science and discovery. It is also a well-known story of heroism and tragedy since his quest to reach the South Pole and conduct research en route, while successful was also fateful. Although Scott and his four co...
