Modified Schwann Cell
Schwann cells that have lost their myelinating capacity or adopted specialized functions, such as in sensory receptors or neuromuscular junctions.
Key Functions:
- Provides support to unmyelinated axons.
- Involved in nerve regeneration after injury.
- Forms specialized structures in sensory receptors (e.g., Meissner corpuscles).
- Contributes to neuromuscular junction integrity.
