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 N...
