Myelin (/ ˈ m aɪ. ə l ɪ n / MY-ə-lin) is a lipid-rich material that surrounds nerve cell axons to insulate them and increase the rate at which electrical impulses (called action potentials) pass along the axon. [1] [2] The myelinated axon can be likened to an electrical wire (the axon) with insulating material (myelin) around it. However ...
[1] [2] [3] Myelinoids have the capacity to recapitulate aspects of brain developmental processes, microenvironments, cell to cell interaction, structural organization and cellular composition. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The differentiating aspect dictating whether an organoid is deemed a cerebral organoid /brain organoid or myelinoid is the presence of ...
Group A are heavily myelinated, group B are moderately myelinated, and group C are unmyelinated. [1] [2] The other classification is a sensory grouping that uses the terms type Ia and type Ib, type II, type III, and type IV, sensory fibers. [1]
TEM of a myelinated axon in cross-section. Cross section of an axon: (1) Axon (2) Nucleus (3) Schwann cell (4) Myelin sheath (5) Neurilemma. In the nervous system, axons may be myelinated, or unmyelinated. This is the provision of an insulating layer, called a myelin sheath.
Oligodendrocytes are a type of glial cell, non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system.They arise during development from oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), [8] which can be identified by their expression of a number of antigens, including the ganglioside GD3, [9] [10] [11] the NG2 chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, and the platelet-derived growth factor-alpha receptor subunit (PDGF ...
1. Axon 2. Nucleus of Schwann cell 3. Schwann cell 4. Myelin sheath 5. Neurilemma. Peripheral myelinogenesis is controlled by the synthesis of proteins P1, P2, and P0. [13] By using SDS-PAGE, researchers revealed distinct bands with band sizes of 27,000 daltons (P1), 19,000 daltons (P2), and 14,000 daltons (P0).
Remyelination is the process of propagating oligodendrocyte precursor cells to form oligodendrocytes to create new myelin sheaths on demyelinated axons in the Central nervous system (CNS). This is a process naturally regulated in the body and tends to be very efficient in a healthy CNS. [1]
Group B nerve fibers are one of the three classes of nerve fiber as generally classified by Erlanger and Gasser. [1] They are moderately myelinated, which means less myelinated than group A nerve fibers, and more myelinated than group C nerve fibers. [2] They have a medium conduction velocity of 3 to 14 m/s.
