What are Perineuronal Nets (PNNs)? We all learned early on what's inside a cell, but what about outside? In our next episode, we talk with Prof. Jessica Kwok (University of Leeds) about PNNs—specialized extracellular matrix structures that wrap around neurons. These nets have

Why is our brain so soft? The central nervous system is much softer than other tissues, and one reason is its unique extracellular matrix (ECM). Prof. Jessica Kwok (University of Leeds) Kwok Lab explains that ECM composition, like collagen, differs in the brain compared to

Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are specialized extracellular matrix structures that ensheath specific neuronal populations. Beyond providing structural support, PNNs function as selective barriers, regulating the local microenvironment of neurons. Prof. Kwok Kwok Lab investigates how
