The Feltri lab research focused on adhesion between myelinating cells, axons and the extracellular matrix and the signals that promote myelination. One of their major efforts was the study of laminin ...

Depending on the location, different glial cell types make myelin in a different manner. Schwann cells make myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS: nerves) and oligodendrocytes in the ...

With major funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Feltri made numerous seminal discoveries in her field, including the creation of the first mutagenesis tool for studying Schwann cell ...

By examining the mechanisms that reduce myelination in adult animals ... involving activation of Schwann cells, microglia and astrocytes in a complex temporal and spatial pattern.
