Myelination diseases of the central nervous system: Artificial Axons as in vitro models of chemomechanical cues
Myelination is a key biological process wherein glial cells such as oligodendrocytes wrap myelin around neuronal axons, forming an insulative sheath that accelerates signal propagation down the axon. A major obstacle to understanding myelination is the challenge of visualizing and reproducibly quant...
