Journal ArticleDOI
Reinnervation of muscle fiber basal lamina after removal of myofibers. Differentiation of regenerating axons at original synaptic sites.
TL;DR: Within the terminals, the synaptic organelles line up opposite periodic specializations in the myofiber's BL, demonstrating that components associated with the BL play a role in organizing the differentiation of the nerve terminal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of agrin, a synaptic organizing protein from Torpedo electric organ.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the electric organ-aggregating factor is distinct from previously identified molecules, and it is named "agrin."
Journal ArticleDOI
Cholinesterase is associated with the basal lamina at the neuromuscular junction
TL;DR: Direct evidence is presented that junctional ChE is associated with the basal lamina of the synaptic cleft in skeletal muscle, a protein known to be a principal component of BLs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The architecture of active zone material at the frog's neuromuscular junction
TL;DR: These findings indicate that the active zone material helps to dock the vesicles and anchor the channels, and that its architecture provides both a particular spatial relationship and a structural linkage between them.
