After nerve injury, lineage tracing shows that myelin and Remak Schwann cells elongate extensively and branch to form repair Schwann cells, which shorten radically on re-myelination. We are grateful to Peter Munro and Hannah Armer, Institute of Ophthalmology, for providing help and advice for block-face scanning electron microscopy, and Jane Pendjiky for help with imaging
