Application of Chondroitin Sulfate Derivatives for Understanding Axonal Guidance in the Nervous System during Development

Neuronal axons and their growth cones recognize molecular guidance cues within the local environment, forming axonal pathways to produce precise neuronal networks during nervous system development. Chondroitin sulfates (CS), carbohydrate chains on chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, exhibit great str...
