Extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules that are released by neurons and glial cells form
perineuronal nets (PNNs) and modulate many neuronal and glial functions. PNNs, whose …

The integrity of the central nervous system (CNS) matrix is crucial for its proper function.
Loss of the lattice-like structure compromise synaptic stability and can lead to the disruption …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the nervous system regulates numerous events during
development, from neurogenesis and gliogenesis to circuitry formation, as well as in …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the central nervous system (CNS) occupies a large part of
the neural tissue. It serves a variety of functions ranging from support of cell migration and …

A structural scaffold embedding brain cells and vasculature is known as extracellular matrix
(ECM). The physical appearance of ECM in the central nervous system (CNS) ranges from a …

Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are extracellular matrix (ECM) chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan
(CSPG)-containing structures that surround the soma and dendrites of various mammalian …

During development the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the central nervous system (CNS)
facilitates proliferation, migration, and synaptogenesis. In the mature nervous system due to …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a fundamental component of biological tissues. The ECM
in the central nervous system (CNS) is unique in both composition and function. Functions …

Synapses are specialized structures that mediate rapid and efficient signal transmission
between neurons and are surrounded by glial cells. Astrocytes develop an intimate …

Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are unique extracellular matrix structures that wrap around certain
neurons in the CNS during development and control plasticity in the adult CNS. They appear …
