Astrocyte-derived tissue transglutaminase interacts with fibronectin: a role in astrocyte adhesion and migration?

An important neuropathological feature of neuroinflammatory processes that occur during e.g. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the formation of an astroglial scar. Astroglial scar formation is facilitated by the interaction between astrocytes and extracellular matrix proteins (ECM) such as fibronectin. Sin...
