The early life of a Schwann cell

Biological Chemistry
Christian S LobsigerUeli Suter

Abstract

Schwann cells are the major glial population of the vertebrate peripheral nervous system. In the adult, they build a protecting sheath around neuronal processes and myelinate large-caliber axons. Already early in development, Schwann cells and neurons establish close contacts. Later development and the maintenance of peripheral nerves are crucially dependent on the controlled bi-directional dialogue between these two cell types. Several major phases can be distinguished in the life of a Schwann cell: determination, differentiation, and potentially myelination. The aim of this review is to summarize the molecular and cellular characteristics of the first steps in the life of a Schwann cell, the development from a multipotent neural crest cell to a differentiated Schwann cell.
