Abstract

In this issue, Majd et al.<sup>1</sup> derive Schwann cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), which can be used to study Schwann cell development and physiology and model diabetic neuropathy. hPSC-derived Schwann cells possess the molecular features of primary Schwann cells and are capable of myelination in vitro and in vivo.
