Regulation of synaptic extracellular matrix composition is critical for proper synapse morphology.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 17 Sept 2014

Kurshan Peri T, Phan Allan Q, Wang George J, Crane Matthew M, Lu Hang, Shen Kang

Abstract excerpt

Synapses are surrounded by a layer of extracellular matrix (ECM), which is instrumental for their development and maintenance. ECM composition is dynamically controlled by proteases, but how the precise composition of the ECM affects synaptic morphology is largely unknown. Through an unbiased for...
