“…In the normal brain, the ECM contains high levels of glycosaminoglycan, hyaluronan, and proteoglycans, and low levels of fibrous proteins such as collagens, fibronectin, and laminin (Ruoslahti, ; Zimmermann & Dours‐Zimmermann, ). Fibrous proteins are the major components of basement membranes of the brain’s vasculature system (Berczi & Szentiványi, ). The aggressive glioblastoma alters the ECM microenvironment by generating collagens (I and IV), fibronectin, and laminin (Mahesparan et al, ).…”
