Role of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in neurodevelopmental disorders and experience-dependent plasticity in Xenopus tadpoles
2020-05-31
Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is a secreted endopeptidase targeting extracellular matrix proteins, creating permissive environments for neuronal development and plasticity. Developmental dysregulation of MMP-9 is also associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (ND). Here we test the hypothesis that chronically elevated MMP-9 activity during early neurodevelopment is responsible for neural circuit hyperconne...
