The cellular and molecular microenvironment of epithelial stem and progenitor cells is
poorly characterized despite well-documented roles in homeostatic tissue renewal, wound …

Pericytes have generally been considered in the context of stabilizing vessels, ensuring the
blood barriers, and regulating the flow through capillaries. However, new reports suggest …

Much of current research investigates the beneficial properties of mesenchymal stem cells
(MSCs) as a treatment for wounds and other forms of injury. In this review, we bring attention …

Pericytes cover the abluminal surface of capillaries and venules and are thought to play an
important role in microvascular regulation and pathology. The purpose of this study was to …

Pericytes are cells that reside on the wall of the blood vessels and their primary function is to
maintain the vessel integrity. Recently, it has been realized that pericytes have a much …

Background Pericytes are multipotent cells present in every vascularized tissue in the body.
Despite the fact that they are well-known for more than a century, pericytes are still …

Physiologic wound healing is highly dependent on the coordinated functions of vascular and
non-vascular cells. Resolution of tissue injury involves coagulation, inflammation, formation …

Mural cells (pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells) are essential for the regulation of
vascular networks and maintenance of vascular integrity, but their origins are diverse in …

Pericyte recruitment is essential for the stability of newly formed vessels. It was also
suggested that pericytes represent common ancestor cells giving rise to mesenchymal stem …

Pericytes are widely believed to function as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), multipotent
tissue-resident progenitors with great potential for regenerative medicine. Cultured pericytes …
