Discovery May Lead To Treatment For Neurodegenerative Diseases

Over the past several decades, many laboratories have studied the communication

between nerve cells and muscle fibers that are crucial to form and maintain

neuromuscular synapses. Now, researchers have found that a protein named Lrp4 is

the missing link that allows communication between two crucial molecules -- one

derived from the nerve and the other from muscle -- that enables the formation

of the synapse.
