Neuregulin 1 type III/ErbB signaling is crucial for Schwann cell colonization of sympathetic axons.

Analysis of Schwann cell (SC) development has been hampered by the lack of growing axons in many commonly used in vitro assays. As a consequence, the molecular signals and cellular dynamics of SC development along peripheral axons are still only poorly understood. Here we use a superior cervical gan...
