Schwann cells produce myelin sheaths and thereby permit rapid saltatory conductance in the vertebrate peripheral nervous system. Their stepwise differentiation from neural crest cells is driven by a defined set of transcription factors. How this is linked to chromatin changes is not well understood. Here we show that the glial transcription factor Sox10 functions in Schwann cells by recruiting Brg1-containing chromatin-remodeling...
