Neuromuscular junctions are the synapses between motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers, which mediate voluntary muscle movement. Since neuromuscular junctions are also tightly associated with the capping function of terminal Schwann cells, these synapses have been classically regarded as tripartite chemical synapses. Although evidences from sympathetic innervation of neuromuscular junctions was described approximately a century ago, the essential presence and functional relevance …
