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
Assembly of extracellular collagen fibrils and Schwann cell basal lamina has previously been identified as a prerequisite for compact myelin formation in the peripheral nervous system. Synthesis of this extracellular matrix (ECM) in vitro required the presence of serum and ascorbic acid. Using rat e
The interaction of the Schwann cell with its basal lamina has been hypothesized to be an important prerequisite for the formation of a myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system. One possible player in this interaction is β€4 integrin; it is up-regulated during myelin formation and, in associatio
