Early Days of Tenascin-R Research: Two Approaches Discovered and Shed Light on Tenascin-R

Abstract

It has taken nearly 30 years. But finally, studies on cohorts of patients seem to be shedding some light on a protein that has been surfaced from time to time in the neurobiological literature. Tenascin-R, as it is now known, has proven a slippery quarry. That almost works as a pun, given the fact that in certain contexts, the molecule interferes with cell adhesion.
