| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In an international collaboration with the University of Minnesota, USA, this study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of physical exercise on skeletal muscle cells. Specifically, the study examined the morphology of the neuromuscular junction and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in these cells. The research period was extended by one year due to the COVID-19. This study demonstrated the important role of the neuromuscular junction's structure as a sensing mechanism for motor stimuli. The study also confirmed that VEGF is expressed in skeletal muscle cells and stimulates their growth.
