Functional regeneration of the murine neuromuscular synapse relies on long-lasting morphological adaptations
Abstract Background In a broad variety of species, muscle contraction is controlled at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the peripheral synapse composed of a motor nerve terminal, a muscle specialization, and non-myelinating terminal Schwann cells.While peripheral nerve damage leads to successful NMJ reinnervation in animal models, muscle fiber rei
