The neuromuscular junction has retained through evolution the capacity to regenerate after damage, but little is known on the inter‐cellular signals involved in its functional recovery from trauma, autoimmune attacks, or neurotoxins. We report here that CXCL12α, also abbreviated as stromal‐derived factor‐1 (SDF‐1), is produced specifically by perisynaptic Schwann cells following ...
