Crushing the nerve to the medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscle at birth and administering nerve growth factor to rats afterwards results in a reinnervated muscle with supernumerary muscle spindles, some of which must have formed de novo. Structure and…

The pattern of regional expression of a slowtonic myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform was studied in developing rat soleus intrafusal muscle fibers. Binding of the slow-tonic antibody (ATO) began at the equator of prenatal intrafusal fibers where…

Whether muscle spindles can form in muscles innervated only by afferents was investigated by removing the lumbosacral segment of the spinal cord immediately after crushing the nerve to the medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscle in newborn rats, and…

Muscle fibers develop sequentially from several generations of myotubes that express specific isoforms of myosin heavy chain (MHC). We observed that the chicken-derived monoclonal antibody (mAb) S46 binds to myotubes of the fetal rat hindlimb in a…

Muscle spindles form de novo in reinnervated muscles of neonatal rats treated with nerve growth factor. Whether the spindles can also form in muscle reinnervated only by afferents was investigated by removing the lumbosacral segment of the spinal…

Crushing the nerve to the medial gastrocnemius muscle in newborn rats and administering nerve growth factor afterwards results in a reinnervated muscle containing supernumerary muscle spindles. The structure and innervation of 88 spindles in the…
