Specific deletion of the laminin gamma1 gene in Schwann cells eliminates all known laminins, thereby showing the necessity of laminins for axonal sorting; this study also shows that laminins in vivo support Schwann cell proliferation and survival.

Coordinate control of axon defasciculation and myelination by laminin-2 and -8. J Cell Biol 168 (2005) 655-666. The authors assess the role of individual laminins in the processes of axonal sorting, and propose that two laminins expressed during peripheral nerve development, laminin-2 and -8, regulate these processes by modulating Schwann cell proliferation.

Laminin-sulfatide binding initiates basement membrane assembly and enables receptor signaling in Schwann cells and fibroblasts. J Cell Biol 169 (2005) 179-189. This work suggests that the assembly of basal lamina in Schwann cells is triggered by sulfatide-laminin association. In addition, the authors show that sulfatide addition is sufficient to promote basal lamina formation in fibroblasts, which are commonly devoid of this structure.

The authors show for the first time the role of a collagen during Schwann cell myelination, and demonstrate that collagen subunit α4(V) in the Schwann cell basal lamina binds to the membrane protein glypican-1.

Restricted growth of Schwann cells lacking Cajal bands slows conduction in myelinated nerves. Nature 431 (2004) 191-195. The authors show that Drp2 and periaxin are required for the cytoplasmic compartmentalization of Schwann cells. Disruption of this organization decreases the growth capacity of Schwann cells, a condition that enables the experimental demonstration of the sensitivity of nerve conduction velocity to internodal length.

Both laminin and Schwann cell dystroglycan are necessary for proper clustering of sodium channels at nodes of Ranvier. J Neurosci 25 (2005) 9418-9427. The authors show enrichment in the nodal region of certain laminins and members of the dystroglycan complex. Furthermore, laminin and DG mutant mice have similar abnormalities in sodium channel clustering, suggesting a functional role of laminin-DG interaction on the formation or stabilization of the nodal compartment. MDC1A patients also show identical abnormalities, providing a potential basis for the reduced nerve conduction velocity seen in the disease.

Gliomedin mediates Schwann cell-axon interaction and the molecular assembly of the nodes of Ranvier. Neuron 47 (2005) 215-229. The authors show that the Schwann cell protein gliomedin is the long-sought microvillar protein involved in sodium channel clustering at the nodes of Ranvier, a role mediated by its binding to axonal immunoglobulin cell adhesion molecules.
