Schwann Cells in Neuromuscular Junction Formation and Maintenance
Journal of Neuroscience, 2016 The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a tripartite synapse that is formed by motor nerve terminals, postjunctional muscle membranes, and terminal Schwann cells (TSCs) that cover the nerve-muscle contact. NMJ formation requires intimate communications among

Motoneuron Wnts regulate neuromuscular junction development
eLife, 2018 The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synapse between motoneurons and skeletal muscles to control motor behavior. Unlike extensively investigated postsynaptic differentiation, less is known about mechanisms of presynaptic assembly.

Reconstruction of the neuromuscular junction connectome [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2010 Abstract Motivation: Unraveling the structure and behavior of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) has always been a major goal of neuroscience. Understanding the wiring diagrams of the neuromuscular junction connectomes (full connectivity of nervous system neuronal components) is a starting point for this, as it helps in the study

Filamented Light (FLight) Bioprinting of Mini‐Muscles with Self‐Renewal Potential
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work presents the FLight biofabrication for engineering in vitro muscle constructs by photocrosslinking pristine collagen and fibrinogen using ruthenium. The resulting mini‐muscles retain in vivo‐like tissue organization and a Pax7⁺ cell pool.

A Drosophila Mutant with a Temperature-Sensitive Block in Nerve Conduction [PDF]
, 1978 A mutant, napts (no action potential, temperature-sensitive), is described in which axonal conduction fails at high temperature. Synaptic transmission at the larval neuromuscular junction is unimpaired.
