Adaptation of the nervous system to different chemical and physiologic conditions is
important for the homeostasis of brain processes and for learning and remembering …

End‐stage organ failure is a devastating problem with limited therapeutic options. The
definitive treatment is orthotropic transplantation, however, there exists a severe shortage of …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays important roles in influencing cellular behavior such as
attachment, differentiation, and proliferation. However, in conventional culture and tissue …

Astroglia are integral components of synapse formation and maturation during development.
Less is known about how astroglia might influence synaptogenesis in the mature brain …

During development the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the central nervous system (CNS)
facilitates proliferation, migration, and synaptogenesis. In the mature nervous system due to …

During central nervous system development, extracellular matrix (ECM) receptors and their
ligands play key roles as guidance molecules, informing neurons where and when to send …

A new in vitro model, mimicking the complexity of nerve tissue, was developed based on a
bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) scaffold that supports 3D culturing of neuronal cells. BNC is …

In response to changes in the environment, dendrites from certain neurons change their
shape, yet the mechanism remains largely unknown. Here we show that dendritic arbors of …

Bidirectional trans-synaptic signals induce synaptogenesis and regulate subsequent
synaptic maturation. Presynaptically secreted Mind the gap (Mtg) molds the synaptic cleft …
