In this proposal we will focus on regeneration of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). The NMJ is a synapse that transmits signals from motor neurons to muscle fibers to control muscle contraction. Skeletal muscle and peripheral nerve injuries are common among soldiers in non-battle related activities such as exercise. Their incident rate increases significantly during war time... |
