Daniel Hoffman

Dan Hoffman, MS, a PhD candidate in Kinesiology and member of the Skeletal Muscle Plasticity and Regeneration Laboratory (SMPRL), led by Sarah Greising, PhD, associate professor in the School of Kinesiology, published an article in Experimental Neurology titled “Response of terminal Schwann cells following volumetric muscle loss injury.” Co-authors of the article include lab members and colleagues Alec Basten, MS, Jacob Sorensen, PhD, Christiana Raymond-Pope, PhD, Tommy Lillquist, MS, Jarrod Call, PhD, Benjamin Corona, MD, PhD, and Greising. The paper, a part of Mr. Hoffman’s dissertation project, sought to understand how the neuromuscular junction changes after traumatic injury. The main findings suggest that while muscle innervation after injury declines, the number of specialized terminal Schwann cells per neuromuscular junction increases.
