The discovery in mammals that axons are metabolically supported by myelinating glial cells explains why neurons can extend meters in length. In this issue, Volkenhoff et al. (2015) show that, in Drosophila, the transfer of lactate from the glial to the neuronal compartment is conserved in evolution, independent of body size.
哺乳动物中轴突的代谢由少突胶质细胞支持的发现解释了为什么神经元可以延伸数米长。在本期杂志中，Volkenhoff 等人（2015 年）表明，在果蝇中，乳酸从胶质细胞向神经元区室的转移在进化上是保守的，与体型无关。
