Injured peripheral nerves but not central nerves have the capacity to regenerate and
reinnervate their target organs. After the two most severe peripheral nerve injuries of six …

Schwann cells respond to nerve injury by cellular reprogramming that generates cells
specialized for promoting regeneration and repair. These repair cells clear redundant …

▪ Abstract Nerve regeneration is a complex biological phenomenon. In the peripheral
nervous system, nerves can regenerate on their own if injuries are small. Larger injuries …

▪ Abstract We describe the formation, maturation, elimination, maintenance, and
regeneration of vertebrate neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), the best studied of all synapses …

Glial cells are emerging from the background to become more prominent in our thinking
about integration in the nervous system. Given that glial cells associated with synapses …

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is being redefined as a distal axonopathy, in that many
molecular changes influencing motor neuron degeneration occur at the neuromuscular …

Reliable transmission of activity from nerve to muscle is necessary for the normal function of
the body. The term 'safety factor'refers to the ability of neuromuscular transmission to remain …

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a highly reliable synapse to carry the control of the
motor commands of the nervous system over the muscles. Its development, organization …

Skeletal Muscle: Form and Function, Second Edition, provides readers with a detailed
understanding of the different facets of muscle physiology. Meticulously researched and …

The lack of axonal regeneration in the injured adult mammalian spinal cord leads to
permanent functional impairment. To induce axonal regeneration in the transected adult rat …
