The “Loss” of Perineuronal Nets in Alzheimer's Disease: Missing or Hiding in Plain Sight?
25 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are chondroitin-sulfate glycosaminoglycan (CS-GAG) containing extracellular matrix structures that assemble around neurons involved in learning, memory, and cognition. Owing to the unique patterning of negative charges stemming from sulfate modifications to the attached CS-GAGs, these matrices play key roles in mediating glycan-protein binding, signaling interactions, and charged ion...
