Polysialic acid and the regulation of cell interactions

Current Opinion in Cell Biology
U Rutishauser

Abstract

Polysialic acid, a unique glycosylation of the neural cell adhesion molecule, is highly regulated in its expression. Its function is manifested in the modulation of cell interactions, probably through its unusual physical properties. Recent advances have clarified the enzymatic mechanism of polysialic acid biosynthesis, expanded its role in cell migration and axon guidance, and suggested that it promotes plasticity in the adult nervous system.

Axon Guidance

Axon guidance is a complex neural developmental field that investigates mechanisms through which neurons send out axons to reach its target. Here is the latest research in this domain.

Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Brain

Cell adhesion molecules found on cell surface help cells bind with other cells or the extracellular matrix to maintain structure and function. Here is the latest research on their role in the brain.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
