Those cells also make the protective myelin sheath that insulates nerve fibers.

The myelin sheath allows electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells.

One of the most significant interactions between Schwann cells and neurons is myelin sheath formation.

The myelin sheath and axon degenerates, making them look scarred or sclerotic, hence the name.

The lymphatic vessels were distributed around the myelin sheath and co-localized with lymphatic endothelial cells.

Importantly, we found that RF-EMF exposure led to myelin sheath damage and mice displayed hyperactivity-like behaviour.

MBP undergoes a dramatic conformational change when liberated from the lipid-rich environment of the myelin sheath.

When the myelin sheath is damaged, it distorts the normal way in which nerve impulses travel.

It is an essential part of the Schwann cells that form the myelin sheath that protects nerves.

In MS, the body attacks the myelin sheath, the fatty material that surrounds and protects nerve cells.

Surprisingly, these axons have a disproportionately thinner myelin sheath, suggesting alterations at the level of axon-glial interactions.

These reactions include stimulation of a local giant cell inflammatory reaction and disruption of the myelin sheath.

Harrison's immune system had chewed away at his nerves' myelin sheath, which contributed to his severe nerve pain.

Any disturbance in the integrity of the myelin sheath interferes with the axon's ability to conduct action potentials.

Severe myelination defects included thickening and unraveling of the myelin sheath surrounding hypertrophic axons in the corpus callosum.

Remarkably, neuregulin-1 type III also regulates Schwann cell membrane growth to adjust myelin sheath thickness to match axon caliber precisely.
