Funded Activity Summary

Re-establishing functional connections between neurons and muscle is an important step in the recovery process after neuromuscular injury or surgery. In order to study the connection forming process in isolation a biological model of nerve muscle connection formation is required. This study aims to buid a biological model consisting of neurons and muscles in a three dimensional environment and to assess the quality of the functional connections that develop.
