Axonal regulation of Schwann cell integrin expression suggests a role for alpha 6 beta 4 in myelination

Ensheathment and myelination of axons by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system requires contact with a basal lamina. The molecular mechanism(s) by which the basal lamina promotes myelination is not known but is likely to reflect the activity of integrins expressed by Schwann cells. To initi...
