Morphological remodeling during recovery of the neuromuscular junction from terminal Schwann cell ablation in adult mice

Abstract excerpt

Schwann cells (SCs) are integral to the formation and function of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Exemplifying their importance, the loss or dysfunction of SCs is a feature of a myriad of diseases and conditions that compromise the PNS. Thus, it remains essential to understand the rules that govern the proliferation, differentiation and reconnection of Schwann cells with peripheral axons. Here, we examined...
