Gordon, Herman: Research includes using a muscle cell culture model in which we can observe the aggregation of known synaptic molecules in response to neurons or active factors such as neural agrin. There appear to be 2 basic pathways which regulate the aggregation of synaptic molecules: one involves signal transduction and tyrosine phosphorylation while the other may involve structural interactions on the extracellular surface. When observed in detail, the aggregation is quite dynamic in surprising ways that we hope will promote a better understanding of the underlying processes & nbsp; Future research will hope to answer the question of how one synapse gets larger at the expense of the other.
