In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), disruptions in myelin and axonal structures occur, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here the authors show that, at the myelin–axon interface, axon–glial signaling, paranodal architecture and amyloid-β aggregation are altered in AD, implicating myelin–axon disruption in disease progression.
