The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex molecular network that is distributed throughout different tissues and the neuronal system. It plays crucial roles in neuronal maturation, signal transduction, and synapse formation. Various ECM components interact or bind to specific receptors to regulate neurogenesis, neuronal migration, axonal growth, and synaptic stability and plasticity.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex molecular network distributed throughout the extracellular space of different tissues as well as the neuronal system. Previous studies have identified various ECM components that play important roles in neuronal maturation and signal transduction. ECM components are reported to be involved in neurogenesis, neuronal migration, and axonal growth by interacting or binding to specific receptors. In addition, the ECM is found to regulate synapse formation, the stability of the synaptic structure, and synaptic plasticity. Here, we mainly reviewed the effects of various ECM components on synapse formation and briefly described the related diseases caused by the abnormality of several ECM components.
