Oligodendrocyte2
Thus, oligodendrocyte numbers are severely reduced, and little (if any) myelin is made. (medscape.com)
However, only little is known about proteins that maintain the structure of mature myelin, many of them localized to its non-compacted sub-compartments. (uni-goettingen.de)
The results lead to the assumption that anillin-dependent scaffolding of mature myelin by septin filaments is required for its normal function in facilitating rapid nerve conduction in the healthy CNS. (uni-goettingen.de)
