Abstract
The brain extracellular matrix is a complex structure. The invading tumors like gliomas would interact with the extracellular matrix. There are receptors in the extracellular matrix including Integrins. This brief review tries to point to some important notes about the extracellular matrix and Integrins as a group of receptors in the extracellular matrix which can play the important role in the pathogenesis of gliomas in the brain tissue.
Conclusion
Understanding the basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of gliomas would open new doors to find novel treatment options for such invasive brain tumors. It is of great importance both in basic and clinical settings.
