Traditionally considered a consequence of myofiber atrophy and impaired protein turnover, recent evidence highlights neuromuscular junction (NMJ) degeneration as an early and critical event in the pathogenesis of this condition. Structural and functional changes at the NMJ, including fragmentation of acetylcholine receptor clusters, motor neuron loss, and disruption of agrin-muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) signaling, impair neuromuscular transmission and accelerate muscle decline. This review synthesizes current understanding of NMJ biology, its age-related deterioration, and emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at preserving synaptic integrity. We discuss pharmacological approaches that target presynaptic neurotransmitter synthesis, stabilize the synaptic cleft, and enhance postsynaptic receptor clustering, as well as interventions that activate Schwann and satellite cells to restore regenerative capacity. Adjunctive therapies such as antioxidants, mitochondrial protectants, and metabolic modulators complement NMJ-specific drugs by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation. Translational insights underscore the importance of NMJ-specific biomarkers, such as circulating c-terminal agrin fragment-22 (CAF22), and advanced imaging modalities to facilitate early detection and personalized interventions. Future directions focus on multimodal regimens that combine NMJ-targeted agents with exercise, nutrition, and digital health tools, supported by computational analytics for precision care. By integrating molecular, systemic, and lifestyle strategies, NMJ-focused therapies offer a promising approach to delaying the progression of sarcopenia and improving functional independence in aging populations.

This review synthesizes genomic, structural, and translational evidence demonstrating that ORs act as context-dependent molecular sensors influencing metabolism, immunity, neurological function, cardiovascular regulation, and cancer. Extensive genomic diversity within the OR gene family, including single nucleotide variants, copy number variation (CNV), and pseudogenization, drives interindividual differences in receptor function and signaling, providing a mechanistic basis for personalized chemosensory and physiological phenotypes. Beyond the olfactory epithelium, ORs are ectopically expressed across diverse tissues, including the gut, brain, skin, vasculature, immune system, and tumors. In these settings, ORs engage canonical and non-canonical G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathways to regulate processes such as wound repair, vascular tone, cell proliferation, apoptosis, immune modulation, and barrier function. Collectively, these observations establish ectopic ORs as active signaling components rather than passive expression markers, supporting their potential utility as functional biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Despite growing biological and clinical relevance, translational progress remains limited by incomplete receptor annotation, a large proportion of orphan receptors, and the complexity of mapping ligand-receptor relationships across tissues. This review also highlights emerging strategies addressing these challenges, including high-throughput functional assays, multi-omic and spatial transcriptomic profiling, and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled models that accelerate ligand prediction, receptor deorphanization, and genotype-phenotype mapping. The development of OR-based biosensor platforms capable of real-time chemical detection further underscores their diagnostic and translational potential. At the population level, substantial variation in OR allele frequencies across ancestries introduces both opportunities and challenges for precision medicine. Accordingly, ethical considerations related to population stratification, data privacy, and equitable implementation are discussed.

Despite these advantages, combination therapy faces challenges that must be overcome to fully realize its potential.
