DOK7 Gene Therapy Enhances Neuromuscular Junction Innervation and Motor Function in Aged Mice

Summary: Muscle denervation at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the essential synapse between motor neuron and skeletal muscle, is associated with age-related motor impairment. Therefore, improving muscle innervation at aged NMJs may be an effective therapeutic strategy for treating the impairment....
