Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs), including neurocan and phosphocan, are
believed to be major components of brain extracellular matrix that interact with other matrix …

Neurocan is a multidomain hyaluronan-binding chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that is
synthesized by neurons, whereas the astroglial proteoglycan phosphacan is an mRNA …

Ng-CAM and N-CAM are cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), and each CAM can bind
homophilically as demonstrated by the ability of CAM-coated beads (Covaspheres) to self …

The orderly development of the nervous system is characterized by phases of cell
proliferation and differentiation, neural migration, axonal outgrowth and synapse formation …

Using immunocytochemistry, we have compared the distribution of neurocan and
phosphacan in the developing central nervous system. At embryonic day 13 (E13) …

Chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate proteoglycans are major components of the cell
surface and extracellular matrix in the brain. Both chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate …

We have used in situ hybridization histochemistry to examine the cellular sites of synthesis
of two major nervous tissue proteoglycans, neurocan and phosphacan, in embryonic and …

A panel of monoclonal antibodies prepared to the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans of rat
brain was used for their immunocytochemical localization and isolation of individual …

The first thalamocortical axons to arrive in the developing cerebral cortex traverse a pathway
that is separate from the adjacent intracortical pathway for early efferents, suggesting that …

Proteoglycans are of two main types, chondroitin sulfate (CSPGs) and heparin sulfate
(HSPGs). The CSPGs act mainly as barrier-forming molecules, whereas the HSPGs stabilise …
