“…The ability of PNS-related glia to migrate into the injured spinal cord has been demonstrated in postmortem human tissues [ 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 ], as well as in a range of experimental models of SCI (induced by contusion, compression, or by penetration/laceration-type injuries) [ 26 , 27 , 60 , 64 , 65 , 66 ]. It is possible that reactive perineurial cells may migrate over a framework of locally deposited ECM molecules (e.g., fibronectin, collagen, and fibrin) to support such behaviour [ 67 ]. Perineurial cells have been reported to express alpha 3 integrin in vivo as well as alpha 2 and alpha 5 integrins in vitro, which recognise fibronectin, laminin, and various collagen sub-types [ 68 ].…”
