    J Neurosci Res 90:1547-56. 2012
    ..Taken together, our results demonstrate that Fyn kinase downregulates NMII activity, thus promoting oligodendrocyte morphological differentiation...

    Department of Biological Sciences, Hunter College, City University of New York, New York, NY 10065, USA
    J Cell Sci 124:3784-96. 2011
    ..Our data indicate that myosin II activity is differentially regulated at various stages during myelination and that in the absence of MLCK the processes of SC differentiation and compact myelin assembly are uncoupled...
