Concepts for regulation of axon integrity by enwrapping glia
Long axons and their enwrapping glia (Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes) form a unique compound structure that serves as conduit for transport of electric and chemical information in the nervous system. The peculiar cytoarchitecture over an enormous length as well as its substantial energetic requi...
