Abstract
Recent research has led to a clearer picture of the molecular organization of the postsynaptic apparatus at the developing neuromuscular junction. In addition, one link between the extracellular signaling molecule agrin and the intracellular events that mediate formation of acetylcholine receptor clusters has been established with the identification of an argin-binding protein.
