Glial cell extracellular matrix: boundaries for axon growth in development and regeneration

Cell and Tissue Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract.

Astrocytes and other glia in the central nervous system are now thought to produce molecules that negatively modulate axon growth, thereby influencing axon pathfinding in both development and regeneration. The relevant evidence for glial cell boundaries and the inhibitory molecules present in these extracellular matrix structures is discussed in this minireview.
