Modulation of Schwann cell phenotype by TGF-beta 1: inhibition of P0 mRNA expression and downregulation of the low affinity NGF receptor.

abstract：:Assembly of the extracellular matrix (ECM) has been tightly linked to compact myelin formation in the peripheral nervous system. We recently demonstrated that myelination of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) axons by Schwann cells may occur in the absence of basal lamina. We have now determined whether laminin deposition occ...
