Health | A meshwork-like substance found within the extracellular space and in association with the basement membrane of the cell surface. It promotes cellular proliferation and provides a supporting structure to which cells or cell lysates in culture dishes adhere. (references) |

Health | Finally, in the brain and spinal cord, the glia and the extracellular matrix (the material that surrounds cells) differ from those in peripheral nerves. (references) | |
Because the extracellular matrix that surrounds cells is a repository for many inhibitory substances, understanding the interaction of cells with the extracellular matrix is an important focus of research. (references) | ||
Another way inhibitors act is by modifying the extracellular matrix, the noncellular material surrounding cells through which axons must grow. For example, some substances act as "anti-adhesives," preventing growing axons from sticking to surrounding tissue, which is necessary for them to grow forward. (references) | ||
