Effect of vasoactive drugs, NE and Tolazoline, on pericyte morphology and permeability of pericyte monolayers.

open access: yes, 2012
(A) Mouse primary pericytes were treated with buffer, NE or Tolazoline. Cells were fixed and stained for F-actin, paxillin and nuclei. Bar = 10 µm. (B) NE increased RhoA activity in pericytes while Tolazoline inhibited it.

Developing Highly Effective Nanoparticle mRNA Therapeutic for Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sepsis‑induced pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome suppresses FOXF1 in lung endothelial cells which causes life‐threatening lung damage. To counter this, researchers developed nanoparticles that specifically target these cells and deliver FOXF1 mRNA.

Simultaneous pericyte, endothelial membrane potential responses to AngII with and without cell contact.

open access: yes, 2016
A. Example of AngII induced membrane potential responses of a pericyte and an endothelial cell physically associated with one another along the DVR wall (as in Fig 5A). Similar time dependent variations persisted throughout the record. Resting potentials

Remote Ischemic Post‐Conditioning Preserves the Neurovascular Unit by Brain‐Derived Gas6 That Drives Monocyte‐Derived Macrophage Reprogramming via Axl and Vimentin after SAH

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) triggers monocyte‐derived macrophage (MDM) infiltration and M1‐like polarization via Vimentin upregulation, leading to neurovascular unit disruption and cognitive dysfunction. Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) upregulates neuronal Gas6, which activates Axl on MDMs to downregulate Vimentin and drive reparative M2 ...

Pericyte degeneration causes white matter dysfunction in the mouse central nervous system

open access: yes, 2018
Diffuse white-matter disease associated with small-vessel disease and dementia is prevalent in the elderly. The biological mechanisms, however, remain elusive.

Pericyte actomyosin-mediated contraction at the cell-material interface can modulate the microvascular niche [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Pericytes physically surround the capillary endothelium, contacting and communicating with associated vascular endothelial cells via cell–cell and cell–matrix contacts. Pericyte–endothelial cell interactions thus have the potential to modulate growth and

AI‐Designed TREM1‐Targeted LYTAC Nanoparticles Reprogram the Neuroimmune Microenvironment in Traumatic Brain Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
AI‐enabled de novo design of a TREM1 binder, integrated into a BBB‐crossing and macrophage‐targeted nanoplatform, enables TREM1 degradation and attenuates neuroinflammation, thereby promoting neuroprotection and tissue repair after traumatic brain injury. ABSTRACT Secondary neuroinflammation drives progressive damage after traumatic brain injury (TBI),

Lung pericyte-like cells are functional interstitial immune sentinel cells

open access: yes, 2017
Pericytes are perivascular PDGF receptor-β+ (PDGFRβ+) stromal cells required for vasculogenesis and maintenance of microvascular homeostasis in many organs.

Impact of Autoimmune Demyelinating Brain Disease Sera on Pericyte Survival

open access: yes, 2020
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by demyelination and brain pericyte dysfunction might be involved in MS pathogenesis Our aim was to evaluate whether the factors in serum ...

What is a pericyte? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Pericytes, spatially isolated contractile cells on capillaries, have been reported to control cerebral blood flow physiologically, and to limit blood flow after ischaemia by constricting capillaries and then dying. Paradoxically, a recent paper dismisses
