Abstract
Astrocytes and other glia in the central nervous system are now though t to produce molecules that negatively modulate axon growth, thereby i nfluencing axon pathfinding in both development and regeneration. The relevant evidence for glial cell boundaries and the inhibitory molecul es present in these extracellular matrix structures is discussed in th is minireview.
