The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

CNS-Resident Glial Progenitor/Stem Cells Produce Schwann Cells as well as Oligodendrocytes during Repair of CNS Demyelination (2010, neutral): “Although both Schwann cell and oligodendrocyte remyelination are associated with a return of saltatory conduction (Smith et al., 1979), their relative abilities to promote axon survival, a major function of myelin (Nave and Trapp, 2008), have yet to be established.”
Neurotransmitter-Triggered Transfer of Exosomes Mediates Oligodendrocyte–Neuron Communication (2013, background): “trophic support to neurons critical for long-term axonal integrity [6].”
Myelination and support of axonal integrity by glia (2010, background): “This is presumably a function of all axon-associated glial cell”
Sialic acids in the brain: gangliosides and polysialic acid in nervous system development, stability, disease, and regeneration. (2014, background): “Myelination also nurtures axons; dysmyelination results in axon degeneration (335).”
