- The study focuses on the roles of gelatinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 in neuroinflammation and how they affect the brain's protective barrier against leukocyte entry.
- Researchers utilized a novel mass spectrometry technique to identify 140 potential substrates for these MMPs on astrocyte surfaces, revealing both known and new interactions that influence cell communication and matrix attachment.
- Findings indicate that these gelatinases not only play a crucial role in maintaining the astroglial barrier but also facilitate interactions between astrocytes and neurons, emphasizing their importance in brain health.
