Laminin, an extracellular matrix protein, is widely expressed in the central nervous system
(CNS). By interacting with integrin and non‐integrin receptors, laminin exerts a large variety …

Laminin, a major component of the basal lamina (BL), is a heterotrimeric protein with many
isoforms. In the CNS, laminin is expressed by almost all cell types, yet different cells …

The blood-brain barrier is a unique property of central nervous system blood vessels that
protects sensitive central nervous system cells from potentially harmful blood components …

Extracellular matrix molecules such as laminins have a central role in regulating cell
behaviour. However, our understanding of their functions in the mammalian nervous system …

Laminin, one of the most widely expressed extracellular matrix proteins, exerts many
important functions in multiple organs/systems and at various developmental stages …

Laminins have dramatic and varied actions on neurons in vitro. However, their in vivo
function in brain development is not clear. Here we show that knockout of laminin γ1 in the …

The laminins are a large family of extracellular matrix proteins that can profoundly influence
development, differentiation and disease progression. The biological effects of the laminins …

Laminins, heterotrimers composed of α, β, and γ chains, are multifunctional glycoproteins
present in basement membranes. Laminins, the most important component of basement …

Oligodendrocytes are the cells that myelinate axons and provide trophic support to neurons
in the CNS. Their dysfunction has been associated with a group of disorders known as …
