Dynamic roles at the neuromuscular junction. Schwann cells

Curr Biol. 1996 Sep 1;6(9):1054-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(02)70662-3.

Abstract

Recent work shows that the non-myelinating 'terminal' Schwann cells that cap neuromuscular junctions play an important role in synaptic maintenance and repair.
