## Abstract Dedifferentiation of myelinating Schwann cells is a key feature of nerve injury and demyelinating neuropathies. We review recent evidence that this dedifferentiation depends on activation of specific intracellular signaling molecules that drive the dedifferentiation program. In particul
Peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) is a small, hydrophobic glycoprotein, which is most prominently expressed by Schwann cells as a component of compact myelin of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Recent progress in molecular genetics revealed that mutations affecting the PMP22 gene including du
