Deskripsi
Myelinating cells differentially myelinate axons of different diameters, however whether they can also restrict radial axonal growth remained unclear. Here, the authors show that CMTM6 in Schwann cells restricts axon diameters, affecting sensory nerve conduction and behavioral performance.
