An investigation into the transcriptional control of the Schwann cell during differentiation, demyelization and disease

The generation of mature myelinating and non-myelinating Schwann cells from immature Schwann cells is regulated by signals from the axon. In the absence of axonal signals, for example during nerve injury, Schwann cells will return to an immature-like phenotype. However, Schwann cells retain the abil...
