A perineuronal net (PNN) is a layer of lattice‐like matrix which enwraps the surface of the
soma and dendrites, and in some cases the axon initial segments, in sub‐populations of …

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 …

Tenascins are a family of extracellular matrix proteins that evolved in early chordates. There
are four family members: tenascin-X, tenascin-R, tenascin-W, and tenascin-C. Tenascin-X …

It has been shown that astrocyte‐derived extracellular matrix (ECM) is important for
formation and maintenance of CNS synapses. In order to study the effects of glial‐derived …

Neural cells secrete diverse molecules, which accumulate in the extracellular space and
form the extracellular matrix (ECM). Interactions between cells and the ECM are well …

Biodegradable PDLLA/Chondroitin sulfate/Chitosan (PDLLA/CS/CHS) nerve conduits with
potentially good biocompatibility and good mechanical property feasible for surgical …

Dendritic spines are dynamic structures that accommodate the majority of excitatory
synapses in the brain and are influenced by extracellular signals from presynaptic neurons …

An enriched environment has previously been described as enhancing natural killer cell
activity of recognizing and killing virally infected cells. However, the effects of environmental …

Laminin is a major structural element of the basal lamina consisting of an α-chain, a β-chain,
and a γ-chain arranged in a cross-like structure, with their C-terminal inter-coiled. Laminin is …

Young children have the ability to learn and acquire skills much faster than adults. Sports
skills or a second language are easily mastered in early life. This ability of the brain to learn …
