Abstract
En 中文
• Laminin-α2 is highly concentrated at the myotendinous junction (MTJ) • Lama2 deficiency severely disrupts MTJ morphology, ultrastructure, and the localization of MTJ-specific marker proteins • Muscle unloading secondary to Lama2 deficiency partially contributes to the MTJ defects, as revealed by muscle denervation experiments • Altered muscle fiber tip morphology in Lama2-deficient and denervated mice involves a shared integrin-associated remodeling response
