Professor Mani shares her perspective, acknowledging both the privileges of scientific research and the real challenges we face. We discuss the slow peer-review process, the high cost of open access, and the systemic resistance to change. While specific challenges vary across

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

In our 25th episode, we're highlighting a fascinating and often overlooked area of neuroscience: the extracellular matrix of the brain. We are delighted to host Dr. Jessica Kwok Kwok Lab, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Leeds University of Leeds, whose

Did you know the extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential for #neurodevelopment? Join us as Prof. Kwok (Kwok Lab) from University of Leeds explains how the ECM's special gel-like structure establishes and maintains crucial chemical gradients. These gradients direct key processes in

Prof. Kwok (Kwok Lab) explains how the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the glial scar, formed post-injury, hinders nerve regeneration. However, removing these ECM components enhances axon regrowth. This process can also change perineuronal net (PNN) distribution, boosting neural
