Nonmyelinating Schwann cell

The nonmyelinating Schwann cells are a subgroup of the Schwann cells characterized by not forming myelin.[1]

The group of nonmyelinating Schwann cells includes the terminal Schwann cells, present at neuromuscular junctions, the Schwann cells of Remak fibers (also called Remak Schwann cells) and the Schwann cells associated to sensory structures, like tactile corpuscles and lamellar corpuscles.[1]
