Review : Glial Boundaries and Scars: Programs for Normal Development and Wound Healing in the BrainDepartment of Anatomy and Neurobiology Department of Neurosurgery The University of Tennessee Memphis, Tennessee
Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology Department of Neurosurgery The University of Tennessee Memphis, Tennessee Early studies of glial boundaries, which are composed of immature astrocytes and extracellular matrix mol ecules (which they express), initially offered insight into the partitioning that occurs in the developing nervous system. More recently, however, it has been suggested that similar "boundaries" may have important roles in other processes occurring in the brain, including repair after traumatic brain injury. As more is understood about the expression and function of boundary molecules and glia, their potential importance is becoming apparent in numerous neuropathological conditions, including neurodegeneration and neuroregeneration in Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases as well as in brain neoplasms. Furthermore, before we can hope to fully understand and facilitate regeneration in the compromised brain, our knowledge of the glial boundary, both during development and in the adult, must be more complete.
