Regulation of cerebral endothelial cell function plays an essential role in changes in blood-
brain barrier permeability. Proteins that are important for establishment of endothelial tight …

Pericytes are multipotent cells embedded within the vascular system, primarily surrounding
capillaries and microvessels where they closely interact with endothelial cells. These cells …

Pericytes are increasingly recognized as being important in the control of blood–brain
barrier permeability and vascular flow. Research on this important cell type has been …

Pericytes, the mural cells surrounding microcirculation, are gaining increasing attention for
their roles in health and disease of the central nervous system (CNS). As an essential part of …

Pericytes are multi-functional cells embedded within the walls of capillaries throughout the
body, including the brain. Pericytes were first identified in the 1870s, but little attention was …

Rationale: Pericytes are capillary mural cells playing a role in stabilizing newly formed blood
vessels during development and tissue repair. Loss of pericytes has been described in …

Pericytes are mural cells surrounding blood vessels, adjacent to endothelial cells. Pericytes
play critical roles in maturation and maintenance of vascular branching morphogenesis. In …

The biology of brain microvascular pericytes is an active area of research and discovery, as
their interaction with the endothelium is critical for multiple aspects of cerebrovascular …

Pericytes play a key role in the development of cerebral microcirculation. The exact role of
pericytes in the neurovascular unit in the adult brain and during brain aging remains …

Pericytes are uniquely positioned within the neurovascular unit to serve as vital integrators,
coordinators and effectors of many neurovascular functions, including angiogenesis, blood …
