- CCNs are a group of matrix proteins found only in vertebrates, crucial for various cellular signaling processes and constructed from four distinct modules.
- They play roles in essential biological functions such as cell adhesion, migration, and tumor development, particularly linked to breast cancer, which is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide.
- Recent studies have highlighted the dual roles of specific CCNs in promoting or inhibiting tumors, suggesting potential pharmacological advancements in breast cancer treatment that target these proteins for earlier diagnosis and better therapy development.
Glial cells comprise the non-sensory parts of the central nervous system as well as the peripheral nervous system. Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, constitute a significant portion of the mammalian nervous system and can be viewed simply as a matrix of neural cells. Despite being the "Nervenkitt" or "glue of the nerves", they aptly serve multiple roles, including neuron repair, myelin sheath formation, and cerebrospinal fluid circulation.
