Hydrogel Confinement Strategies for 3D Cell Culture in Microfluidic Systems
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Hydrogel confinement structures are key to organizing 3D cell cultures in microfluidic devices. This review classifies five structural strategies (micropillar, phaseguide, porous membrane, stepped‐height, and support‐free) and examines their trade‐offs alongside fabrication methods.

Molecular mechanisms underlying therapeutic potential of pericytes
Journal of Biomedical Science, 2018 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 representing cells with intriguing properties.

Plastic roles of pericytes in the blood–retinal barrier
Nature Communications, 2017 The blood–retinal barrier (BRB) consists of tightly interconnected capillary endothelial cells covered with pericytes and glia, but the role of the pericytes in BRB regulation is not fully understood.

Combined Effects of Pericytes in the Tumor Microenvironment
Stem Cells International, 2015 Pericytes are multipotent perivascular cells whose involvement in vasculature development is well established. Evidences in the literature also suggest that pericytes display immune properties and that these cells may serve as an in vivo reservoir of ...

Targeting pericytes for therapeutic approaches to neurological disorders
Acta Neuropathologica, 2018 Many central nervous system diseases currently lack effective treatment and are often associated with defects in microvascular function, including a failure to match the energy supplied by the blood to the energy used on neuronal computation, or a ...

Pericytes in Vascular Development
Current Tissue Microenvironment Reports, 2020 Pericytes are essential components of capillaries in many tissues and organs, contributing to vessel stability and integrity, with additional contributions to microvascular function still being discovered. We review current and foundational studies identifying pericyte differentiation mechanics and their roles in the earliest stages of vessel formation.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Modeling the blood–brain tumor barrier is challenging due to complex interactions between brain microvasculature and glioma cells. We present two‐photon polymerized 3D micro‐porous capillary‐like structures that support endothelial alignment, cytoskeletal organization, and pericyte‐endothelial‐glioma tri‐cultures.
