The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the central nervous system is well recognized as a
migration and diffusion barrier that allows for the trapping and presentation of growth factors …

Interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) have long been accepted to
have pivotal roles in neural development and regeneration. Recent data also support the …

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 …

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 …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the brain has important roles in regulating synaptic
function and plasticity. A juvenile ECM supports the wiring of neuronal networks …

An astonishing number of extracellular matrix glycoproteins are expressed in dynamic
patterns in the developing and adult nervous system. Neural stem cells, neurons, and glia …

Neuroepithelial and radial GLIA stem cells generate the majority of the cellular constituents
of the central nervous system. Following precisely timed phases of neurogenesis and …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoproteins are expressed in the central nervous system (CNS)
in complex and developmentally regulated patterns. The ECM provides a number of critical …

Comprehensive analysis of neuromuscular junction formation and recent data on
synaptogenesis and long-term potentiation in the central nervous system revealed a number …

In the adult brain, synapses are tightly enwrapped by lattices of the extracellular matrix that
consist of extremely long-lived molecules. These lattices are deemed to stabilize synapses …
