    Glossary Schwann cells

    specialized cells that insulate and support peripheral nerve fibers

    Schwann cells are specialized cells in the peripheral nervous system that wrap around nerve fibers to form the myelin sheath, which insulates the nerves and speeds up the transmission of electrical signals. They play a crucial role in nerve regeneration and repair by providing support and nutrients to neurons.
