The MuSK-BMP pathway maintains myofiber size in slow muscle through regulation of Akt-mTOR signaling

Abstract Myofiber size regulation is critical in health, disease, and aging. MuSK (muscle-specific kinase) is a BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) co-receptor that promotes and shapes BMP signaling. MuSK is expressed at all neuromuscular junctions and is also present extrasynaptically in the mouse sol...
