Regulation of retinoid receptors by retinoic acid and axonal contact in Schwann cells.

BACKGROUND: Schwann cells (SCs) are the cell type responsible for the formation of the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). As retinoic acid (RA) and other retinoids have a profound effect as regulators of the myelination program, we sought to investigate how their nuclear receptors...
