Pericytes are mural cells of the microvasculature, recognized by their thin processes and
protruding cell body. Pericytes wrap around endothelial cells and play a central role in …

In the microvasculature, blood flow-derived forces are key regulators of vascular structure
and function. Consequently, the development of hydrogel-based microvessel-on-chip …

An artificial tool for manipulating local cerebral blood flow (CBF) is necessary for
understanding how CBF controls brain function. Here, we generate vascular optogenetic …

Neurovascular coupling (NVC) is crucial for maintaining brain function and holds significant
implications for diagnosing neurological disorders. However, the neuron type and spatial …

Objective. The main objective of this research was to study the coupling between neural
circuits and the vascular network in the cortex of small rodents from system engineering …

Purpose: To assess the performance of two spectral-domain optical coherence tomography-
angiography systems in a natural model of hypoperfusion: the hibernating thirteen-lined …

Hemodynamic signals are used in many advanced brain functional imaging modalities to
indirectly map the spatial and temporal distribution of neural activity. We used a combination …
