Insulator Protein Helps Organize the Gaps in the Axon's Insulation.
The protein P0 has long been known to play a crucial role in holding together the myelin sheath that insulates peripheral nerves. A new study reveals that P0 is also important for organizing the nodes of Ranvier that occupy the gaps in the insulation. Read the Research Article.
