Brain extracellular matrix
Abstract
The extracellular matrix of the adult brain tissue has a unique composition. The striking feature of this matrix is the prominence of lecticans, proteoglycans that contain a lectin domain and a hyaluronic acid-binding domain. Hyaluronic acid and tenascin family adhesive/anti-adhesive proteins are also abundant. Matrix proteins common in other tissues are nearly absent in adult brain. The brain extracellular matrix appears to have trophic effects on neuronal cells and affect neurite outgrowth. The unique composition of this matrix may be responsible for the resistance of brain tissue toward invasion by tumors of non-neuronal origin.

The brain extracellular matrix is characterized by a prominence of proteoglycans and hyaluronan, except for basement membrane structures.
“The striking feature of the brain ECM is the prominence of proteoglycans and hyaluronan with the exception of basement membrane structures (Ruoslahti, 1996).”

The HLT model proposes that the supramolecular organization of perineuronal nets consists of hyaluronan, lecticans, and tenascin-R.
“The current concept of supramolecular organization and assembly of PNN was first proposed by Ruoslahti (1996) and designated as “HLT (hyaluronan, lecticans and TN-R)” model by Yamaguchi (2000) (Fig. 2).”

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.
