Reciprocal regulation of axonal Filopodia and outgrowth during neuromuscular junction development.
BACKGROUND: The assembly of the vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is initiated when nerve and muscle first contact each other by filopodial processes which are thought to enable close interactions between the synaptic partners and facilitate synaptogenesis. We recently reported that embryonic...
