Abstract excerpt
Secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine (SPARC) is a matricellular protein that modulates the activity of growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix to play multiple roles in tissue development and repair, such as cellular adhesion, migration, and proliferation. Throughout the CNS, SPARC is highly localized in mature ramified microglia, but its role in microglia--in development or during response to...
