Researcher Available to Discuss Finding Published in Cell That 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 at the at the NYU Langone Medical Center 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.
