摘要：

(Figure Presented) Implications for the nervous system: The formation of polymeric myelin structures was studied at the copolymer/water interface and then elaborated in a dispersed phase. Sun-like structures formed with a complex multilamellar core and a corona made of short myelins. Myelin growth is solvent-promoted, in a strong analogy to natural myelins, which have membranes with a higher proportion of fluidizing molecules such as cholesterol. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
