Role of Connexin-Based Gap Junction Channels in Communication of Myelin Sheath in Schwann Cells
Peripheral nerves have the capacity to conduct action potentials along great distances and quickly recover following damage which is mainly due to Schwann cells (SCs), the most abundant glial cells of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). SCs wrap around an axonal segment multiple times, forming a my...
