Piccolo Regulates Secretion of the Extracellular Matrix Components Brevican and Tenascin R from Astrocytes to Drive Synapse Formation: Implications for Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 3 (PCH3)
2025-07-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Astrocytes are crucial for CNS health, for instance via the secretion of extracellular matrix (ECM) components that are vital for synapse formation and maturation. While the scaffolding protein Piccolo is known for its role at synapses, its function in astrocytes and contribution to neurodegenerative disorders like Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 3 (PCH3) are largely unknown. Understanding the...
