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.
