myeliinöivät
Myeliinöivät is a Finnish term used in neurobiology to denote the cells and processes that form myelin around axons. The word combines myeliini (myelin) with a suffix that indicates ongoing activity or agents, pointing to entities that produce or wrap axons with myelin. In English-language contexts, this concept is usually described as myelination or as myelin-forming cells.
In the vertebrate nervous system, myeliinöivät include oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells
Myelination develops over time, with postnatal progression in many brain regions and continuing into adolescence. Oligodendrocyte
Disruptions to myeliinöivät function can impair nerve conduction and contribute to neurological disorders. Demyelinating diseases such
