Myelinating Schwann Cell Polarity and Mechanically-Driven Myelin Sheath Elongation
Myelin sheath geometry, encompassing myelin sheath thickness relative to internodal length, is critical to optimize nerve conduction velocity and these parameters are carefully adjusted by the myelinating cells in mammals. In the central nervous system these adjustments could regulate neuronal activ...
