Chondroitin sulfates have been implicated in the promotion and in the inhibition of axon
growth. In the zebrafish embryo, chondroitin sulfates are present at the interface of the …

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans display both inhibitory and stimulatory effects on cell
adhesion and neurite outgrowthin vitro. The functional activity of these proteoglycans …

We have investigated the role chondroitin sulfate has on cell interactions during neural plate
formation in the early chick embryo. Using tissue culture isolates from the prospective neural …

The glycosaminoglycan chondroitin sulfate (CS) is expressed in many parts of the
developing brain, both in regions where axons preferentially grow and in areas that axons …

The ventral branches of the segmental peripheral nerves in the zebrafish embryo are
pioneered by the caudal primary (CaP) motor axons, which extend midsegmentally at the …

In light of controversial reports concerning the effects of chondroitin sulfates on neurite
outgrowth, several glycosaminoglycans belonging to this structural class were compared …

Background Establishing correct neuronal circuitry is crucial to proper function of the
vertebrate nervous system. The abundance of chondroitin sulfate (CS) proteoglycans in …

CS (chondroitin sulfate) has been implicated in a variety of biological processes during
development. Its biological functions are closely associated with characteristic sulfated …

To learn how neurons find their appropriate targets, we have studied two populations of
motoneurons in the embryonic zebrafish: primary motoneurons, individually identified cells …

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