## Abstract Increased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) proteolytic activity contributes to the pathogenesis of many neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative conditions in the CNS. To fully understand this process, it is important to define the MMP expression profile of specific cell types, including t
The effects of 25 recently discovered plant lectins on cell proliferation and enzyme release were compared to those of previously known lectins on rat microglia and astrocyte cell cultures. A dose-dependent proliferation of microglial cells, but not of astrocytes, was induced by seven lectins, where
