Axon initial segments (AISs) and nodes of Ranvier are sites of action potential generation and propL agation, respectively. Both domains are enriched in sodium channels complexed with adhesion ...
Nodes of Ranvier Form in Association with Ezrin-Radixin-Moesin (ERM)-Positive Schwann Cell Processes
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In the adult peripheral nerve, microvillous processes of myelinating Schwann cells project to the nodes of Ranvier; their composition and ...
New research describes a key molecular mechanism in nerve fibers that ensures the rapid conductance of nervous system impulses. New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School ...
Researchers have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, they found unexpected potassium channels that give the ...
The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds fibers called axons, which are the long thin projections that extend from the main body of a nerve cell or neuron. This sheath is composed of ...
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine describes a key molecular mechanism in nerve fibers that ensures the rapid conductance of ...
