Movements of the Schwann cell nucleus implicate progression of the inner (axon-related) Schwann cell process during myelination

Although it has been known for several decades that peripheral myelin is formed from an extended, spiraled, and compacted sheet of Schwann cell (SC) plasma membrane, the mechanism by which this unique spiraling is accomplished remains unknown. We have studied the movements of SC nuclei before, durin...
