Background: Chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycans (CS-GAGs) are the primary inhibitory
GAGs for neuronal growth after central nervous system (CNS) injury. However, the inhibitory …

Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a polysaccharide moiety of proteoglycans, is one of the major
components of the extracellular matrix in the central nervous system and is involved in …

The amygdala integrates and coordinates emotional and autonomic responses. The
genetics that underlie variation in amygdala structure may be coupled to variation in levels …

Microinvasive carcinomas and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasms are commonly
discovered within the fallopian tube of BRCA1 mutation carriers at the time of risk-reducing …

The remarkable promise of pluripotent and multipotent stem cells (SCs) imparts tremendous
optimism for advancement of regenerative medicine, developmental biology, and drug …

The mammalian CNS is organized by a variety of cells, such as neurons and glia, which are
generated from neural stem cells (NSCs), undifferentiated neural cells characterized by their …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) modulates brain maturation and plays a major role in
regulating neuronal plasticity during critical periods of development. We examined 1) …

Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) exhibit therapeutic potential in neuronal diseases.
Previously, we reported that a sulfated polysaccharide (HS) from the sea cucumber …

Dexamethasone (DEX), a synthetic glucocorticoid, has been widely used to prevent the
development of a variety of poor health conditions in premature infants including chronic …

The microvasculature within the neural stem cell (NSC) niche promotes self-renewal and
regulates lineage progression. Previous work identified endothelial-produced soluble …
