Macrophages excite muscle spindles with glutamate to bolster locomotion - Nature A population of macrophages with exclusive molecular and functional signatures in the muscle spindles express machinery for synthesizing and releasing glutamate, and a cellular component, the muscle s...

Over a century after Sherrington's discovery of the stretch #reflex, muscle #spindles continue to surprise us. Check out this new paper from the labs of Bellardita and Di Giovanni, revealing that #macrophages directly excite muscle spindles to enhance #locomotion. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
