Two adhesive systems cooperatively regulate axon ensheathment and myelin growth in the CNS

Two adhesive systems cooperatively regulate axon ensheathment and myelin growth in the CNS

It remains unclear how myelin is targeted specifically to axons while sparing neuronal cell bodies and dendrites, or how small gaps, the nodes of Ranvier, are left unmyelinated along the axon. In this study, authors used genetic analyses in zebrafish and mice to demonstrate that molecules of the par...
