Pathophysiology of the brain extracellular matrix: a new target for remyelination

Lau, Lorraine W., Cua, Rowena, Keough, Michael B., Haylock-Jacobs, Sarah, Yong, V. Wee·2013·Nature reviews. Neuroscience

Abstract

The extracellular matrix (ECM) occupies a notable proportion of the CNS and contributes to its normal physiology. Alterations to the ECM occur after neural injury (for example, in multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury or Alzheimer's disease) and can have drastic consequences. Of note, injury-induced changes in chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans (CSPGs)--a family of ECM proteoglycans--can lead to the inhibition of myelin repair. Here, we highlight the pathophysiological roles of the brain's ECM, particularly those of CSPGs, after neural insults and discuss how the ECM can be targeted to promote remyelination.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
