Current Techniques for Investigating the Brain Extracellular Space [PDF]
The brain extracellular space (ECS) is a continuous reticular compartment that lies between the cells of the brain. It is vast in extent relative to its resident cells, yet, at the same time the nano- to micrometer dimensions of its channels and ...

Local diffusion in the extracellular space of the brain
The brain extracellular space (ECS) is a vast interstitial reticulum of extreme morphological complexity, composed of narrow gaps separated by local expansions, enabling interconnected highways between neural cells.

Protein Dynamics in the Plant Extracellular Space [PDF]
The extracellular space (ECS or apoplast) is the plant cell compartment external to the plasma membrane, which includes the cell walls, the intercellular space and the apoplastic fluid (APF).

Diffusion in Brain Extracellular Space [PDF]
Diffusion in the extracellular space (ECS) of the brain is constrained by the volume fraction and the tortuosity and a modified diffusion equation represents the transport behavior of many molecules in the brain. Deviations from the equation reveal loss of molecules across the blood-brain barrier, through cellular uptake, binding, or other mechanisms ...

Synucleinopathy alters nanoscale organization and diffusion in the brain extracellular space through hyaluronan remodeling [PDF]
The nanoscale organisation of the brain extracellular space can be studied in vivo. Here, the authors investigate how it changes in response to α-synuclein pathology, and identify interactions between microglia and the extracellular matrix.

Diffusion in the extracellular space in brain and tumors [PDF]
Diffusion of solutes and macromolecules in the extracellular space (ECS) in brain is important for non-synaptic intercellular communication, extracellular ionic buffering, and delivery of drugs and metabolites. Diffusion in tumor ECS is important for delivery of anti-tumor drugs.

Microglia as hackers of the matrix: sculpting synapses and the extracellular space. [PDF]
Microglia shape the synaptic environment in health and disease, but synapses do not exist in a vacuum. Instead, pre- and postsynaptic terminals are surrounded by extracellular matrix (ECM), which together with glia comprise the four elements of the ...

Near-Infrared Carbon Nanotube Tracking Reveals the Nanoscale Extracellular Space around Synapses. [PDF]
We provide evidence of a local synaptic nano-environment in the brain extracellular space (ECS) lying within 500 nm of postsynaptic densities. To reveal this brain compartment, we developed a correlative imaging approach dedicated to thick brain tissue ...
