Bone Morphogenetic Protein signaling in vertebrate motor neurons and neuromuscular communication

An accurate communication between motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers is required for the proper assembly, growth and maintenance of neuromuscular junctions (NMJ). Several signaling and extracellular matrix molecules play stimulatory and inhibitory roles on the assembly of functional synapses....
