Focal adhesion kinase can play unique and opposing roles in regulating the morphology of differentiating oligodendrocytes

Abstract excerpt

During development cells of the oligodendrocyte lineage undergo significant changes in morphology when they differentiate from migratory oligodendrocyte progenitors, which are mostly bipolar, into post-migratory pre-myelinating oligodendrocytes, which extend complex and expanded process networks, and then finally into mature oligodendrocytes, which generate myelin sheaths required for efficient signal propagation...
