Single-nuclei sequencing of skeletal muscle reveals subsynaptic-specific transcripts involved in neuromuscular junction maintenance by Alexander S. Ham, Shuo Lin, Alice Tse, Marco Thürkauf, Timothy J. McGowan, Lena Jörin, Filippo Oliveri, Markus A. Rüegg

“…The data show that NMJ gene expression is not only driven by agrin-Lrp4/MuSK signaling but is also affected by electrical activity and trophic factors other than agrin. By selecting the three NMJ genes Etv4, Lrtm1, and Pdzrn4, we further characterize novel contributors to NMJ stability and function. …”
