These observations show that SCs participate actively in the remodeling of neuromuscularsynapses following nerve injury by their guidance of axonal reinnervation.

We have investigated the possible role of synapsin I, a nerve terminal-specific protein, in the maturation of neuromuscularsynapses in Xenopus cell cultures.

This review summarizes recent findings about the role of neurotrophic factors in modulating synaptic efficacy of neuromuscularsynapses, both in an activity-dependent and -independent fashion.
