Myelin Formation

Myelin Formation is a biological process defined as the assembly and elaboration of myelin sheaths around axons by oligodendrocytes or Schwann cells, distinguishing it from other glial differentiation events through its specific role in enabling saltatory conduction and axonal insulation in the nervous system.
