Abstract
Myelin is a multilayer wrapping of insulation formed by glial cells around axons that is essential for rapid impulse transmission, but how glial cells accomplish this cellular choreography has long intrigued researchers. In this issue of Cell, Snaidero et al., provide new insights into how myelin forms and is remodeled.
