Abstract

Electron micrographs have been presented, demonstrating myelin ation around multiple axons. This is an exception from the normal 1:1 relationship of axon to Schwann cell in a myelinated peripheral nerve fibre.

Citing Articles

PGL I expression in live bacteria allows activation of a CD206/PPARγ cross-talk that may contribute to successful Mycobacterium leprae colonization of peripheral nerves.
