## Abstract Schwann cells within a peripheral nerve respond robustly after an axonal injury. Recent results have revealed that Schwann cells undergo concurrent proliferation and apoptosis after a chronic nerve injury that is independent of axonal pathology. Although the exact nature of the stimulus
## Abstract During late fetal life, Schwann cells in the peripheral nerves singled out by the larger axons will transit through a promyelinating stage before exiting the cell cycle and initiating myelin formation. A network of extraβ and intracellular signaling pathways, regulating a transcriptiona
The myelin proteolipid protein (Plp) gene is expressed in oligodendrocytes and encodes the most abundant protein (approximately 50%) present in mature myelin from the central nervous system (CNS). Plp gene activity is low to nonexistent early in development but sharply increases, concurrently with t
The human brain contains four isoforms of myelin basic protein (MBP), previously identified by cDNA cloning. We have now isolated and characterized genomic clones encoding the human MBP gene. The gene is 45 kb in extent and consists of seven exons. Alternative splicing of the primary MBP transcript
