Neurotransmitter-triggered transfer of exosomes mediates oligodendrocyte-neuron communication.

Reciprocal interactions between neurons and oligodendrocytes are not only crucial for myelination, but also for long-term survival of axons. Degeneration of axons occurs in several human myelin diseases, however the molecular mechanisms of axon-glia communication maintaining axon integrity are poorl...
