Published 1970 in Journal of Cell Biology

ABSTRACT

It is widely presumed that Schwann cells and glial cells modify the interactions of neurons with the extracellular environment in several ways, in addition to the formation and maintenance of myelin . In particular, it is thought that these cell types control the composition of the medium that gains access to the neuronal surface (see, e .g ., references 2, 7, 10, 14, 26, 29, 30) and perhaps also play active roles in transfer of specific molecules to neurons (16, 29) . Among the preparations that should be of use
