Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) is a multifunctional intracellular effector of cell-matrix interactions
and regulates many cellular processes, including growth, proliferation, survival …

Dynamic interactions of cells with their environment regulate multiple aspects of tissue
morphogenesis and function. Integrins are the major class of cell surface receptors that …

Here, we discuss the identity, heterogeneity and functions of radial glial cells mostly in the
developing central nervous system (CNS). First, we define radial glial cells by …

The glial cells of the cerebellum, and particularly astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, are
characterized by a remarkable phenotypic variety, in which highly peculiar morphological …

Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) is a multifunctional molecular actor in cell–matrix interactions,
cell adhesion, and anchorage-dependent cell growth. It combines functions of a signal …

Cobblestone (type II) lissencephaly and mental retardation are characteristic features of a
subset of congenital muscular dystrophies that include Walker–Warburg syndrome, muscle …

Radial glial cells have been shown to act as neuronal precursors in the developing cortex
and to maintain their radial processes attached to the basement membrane (BM) during cell …

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) transplanted into the lesioned CNS can stimulate
reportedly different degrees of regeneration, remyelination, and functional recovery, but little …

The morphogenetic factor Sonic hedgehog (SHH) has been discovered as one of the
masterplayers in cerebellar patterning and was subjected to intensive investigation during …

During development, Schwann cells (SCs) interpret different extracellular cues to regulate
their migration, proliferation, and the remarkable morphological changes associated with the …
