Visualizing the live Drosophila glial-neuromuscular junction with fluorescent dyes.

11 May 2009 Our project identified GFP labeled glial structures at the developing larval fly neuromuscular synapse. To look at development of live glial-nerve-muscle synapses, we developed a larval tissue preparation that had features of live intact larvae, but ... Read more...

[A reminder of the structure and function of the skeletal neuromuscular junction]

29 Apr 2009 The skeletal neuromuscular junction has been considered as a model of chemical synapses due to its relatively simple organization. It is made up of three cellular partners including the motoneuron nerve terminals, the peri-synaptic Schwann cells and ... Read more...

Drosophila larval NMJ immunohistochemistry.

26 Mar 2009 The Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is an established model system used for the study of synaptic development and plasticity. The widespread use of the Drosophila motor system is due to its high accessibility. It can be analyzed with ... Read more...
