Much like the insulation around the wires in electrical systems, glial cells form a membraneous sheath surrounding axons called myelin, thereby insulating the axon. This myelination, as it is ...

Based on the findings previously collected by Bellen and other researchers, Nave and his colleagues hypothesized that myelin, ...

Moreover, because myelin is produced by non-neuronal glial cells called oligodendrocytes, which myelinate axons by extending thin processes of their cell membranes to wrap around them, the study ...

The problem Oligodendrocytes (OLs) produce the myelin sheaths that electrically insulate axons. Although most OLs are generated in the early postnatal period, oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPs) ...
