Medical Journal of Australia, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- The article commemorates the hundredth anniversary of Louis Ranvier's death and reassesses his role in defining the Schwann cell concept.
- Ranvier, influenced by Theodor Schwann and Albert von Kölliker, utilized picrocarminate staining to study myelinated nerve fibers, leading to his identification of the "interannular segment."
- Although his ideas were initially dismissed, they were later validated with electron microscopy in the 1950s, confirming the brilliance of Ranvier's insights alongside those of his pupil, William Vignal.
