How is brain development shaped by the Extracellular Matrix

Did you know the extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential for neurodevelopment? Join us as Prof. Kwok explains how the ECM's special gel-like structure establishes and maintains crucial chemical gradients. These gradients direct key processes in brain formation, like cell movement and nerve fiber growth, prior to the emergence of perineuronal nets (PNNs).
Intrigued by the extracellular matrix in the brain? Then our latest episode on the ECM and PNNs is for you!
