I don't know much except for what I read and this message board can be a place for some interesting topics. I was willing to do a little research yesterday because I was delaying the start of my own driveway sealing project for an hour or so(what a crappy job imo).

Maybe I wasn't paying attention but yesterday was the first time I heard of the Schwann cells although there's plenty of research out there.

The biology part is amazing - get homeostasis working and get out of the way - the body knows what to do.

Just for info here's a comparison - Oligodendrocytes vs Schwann Cells

"Neuroglia or glial cells are nonneuronal cells which support the function of central and peripheral nervous systems. These cells protect neurons and prevent the loss of signals during the transmission through neurons. Glial cells surround neurons and form insulating layers around the axons. There are different types of glial cells. They include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, Schwann cells, microglia, and satellite cells. Oligodendrocytes are the glial cells which surround neurons of the central nervous system and insulate axons. Schwann cells are the glial cells which surround neurons of the peripheral nervous system and insulate axons. The key difference between oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells is that a single oligodendrocyte can extend up to 50 axons and form myelin sheaths which are 1 µm length in each axon while a single Schwann cell can wrap around only a single axon and form one myelin segment.".

Keep up the good work!
