Abstract

Communication between neurons and oligodendroglial cells regulates oligodendrocyte development. Here, Choi et al. show that the six-transmembrane GPI-anchor-cleaving enzyme GDE2 stimulates canonical Wnt signaling in neurons to release soluble factors, such as phosphacan, to promote oligodendrocyte maturation.
