Research into the POU transcription factor Oct-6 has been the focus of much current attention, in particular its role in Schwann cell development and differentiation. Based on published data and data presented here, we propose a model for Oct-6 function at two distinct stages of Schwann cell maturat

The role of axons in the expression of the major myelin glycoprotein, PO, has been investigated using neuronkhwann cell cultures. These cultures were either nonmyelinating or myelinating due to growth in defined medium or in medium containing serum and chick embryo extract, respectively. The neurons
## Abstract The neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) gene functions as a tumor suppressor gene. One known function of neurofibromin, the NF1 protein product, is to accelerate the slow intrinsic GTPase activity of Ras to increase the production of inactive rasGDP, with wideβranging effects on p21ras pathw
## Abstract We have constructed a chitosan nonwoven nanofiber mesh tube consisting of oriented fibers by the electrospinning method. The efficacy of oriented nanofibers on Schwann cell alignment and positive effect of this tube on peripheral nerve regeneration were confirmed. The physical propertie
## Abstract Neurons and glia interact in the development of mammalian central nervous systems and in the maintenance of stable myelinated axons. Recent evidence suggests a role for oligodendrocytes in providing trophic support for neurons during development and in the mature nervous system. This wo
