The upregulation of extracellular matrix components, especially chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, after brain injury and stroke is known to accompany the glial reaction, forming repellent scars that hinder axonal growth and the reorganization of the injured neuronal networks. The extracellular
As part of the extracellular matrix (ECM), perineuronal nets (PNs) are polyanionic, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG)-rich coatings of certain neurons, known to be affected in various neural diseases. Although these structures are considered as important parts of the neurovascular unit (NVU),
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are a condensed form of extracellular matrix that covers the surface of a subset of neurons. Their presence limits neuronal plasticity and may protect neurons against harmful agents. Here we analyzed the relationship between spatiotemporal changes in PNN expression and cell
