Abstract
► We examine the fate of skin-derived stem cells when transplanted into nerve tissue. ► Stem cell death, differentiation, and survival are dependent on nerve environment. ► Stem-cell derived Schwann cells generate myelin in peripheral nerves. ► Apoptosis of transplanted cells can be modified by supplying exogenous neuregulins.
