Glial-neuron interactions and the regulation of myelin formation.
The association between neuron and glial cell that leads to the formation of a myelinated axon depends on a number of adhesion/recognition molecules whose temporal expression, localization, and in some cases removal are critical for sculpting the mature myelin sheath.
