Microcirculation, 2008 ABSTRACTObjectives: Cochlear pericytes are not well characterized. The aim of this study was to further advance the characterization of cochlear pericyte location and distribution, with particular focus on pericyte‐related proteins on the capillaries of the cochlear lateral wall that are functionally integral to structure, contraction, and gap junction

Tissue Specific Origin, Development, and Pathological Perspectives of Pericytes
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018 Pericytes are mural cells surrounding blood vessels, adjacent to endothelial cells. Pericytes play critical roles in maturation and maintenance of vascular branching morphogenesis.

Matricellular Protein Periostin Promotes Pericyte Migration in Fibrotic Airways
Frontiers in Allergy, 2021 Introduction: Periostin is a matricellular protein that is currently used as a biomarker for asthma. However, its contribution to tissue remodeling in allergic asthma is currently unknown.

Endothelial/Pericyte Interactions [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2005 Interactions between endothelial cells and mural cells (pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells) in the blood vessel wall have recently come into focus as central processes in the regulation of vascular formation, stabilization, remodeling, and function.

Sympathetic nerve-derived ATP regulates renal medullary vasa recta diameter via pericyte cells: a role for regulating medullary blood flow? [PDF]
, 2013 Pericyte cells are now known to be a novel locus of blood flow control, being able to regulate capillary diameter via their unique morphology and expression of contractile proteins.

Endogenous brain pericytes are widely activated and contribute to mouse glioma microvasculature. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common brain tumor in adults. It presents an extremely challenging clinical problem, and treatment very frequently fails due to the infiltrative growth, facilitated by extensive angiogenesis and ...

Renal pericytes: regulators of medullary blood flow [PDF]
, 2012 Regulation of medullary blood flow (MBF) is essential in maintaining normal kidney function. Blood flow to the medulla is supplied by the descending vasa recta (DVR), which arise from the efferent arterioles of juxtamedullary glomeruli.

Pericytes: The lung-forgotten cell type
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Pericytes are a heterogeneous population of mesenchymal cells located on the abluminal surface of microvessels, where they provide structural and biochemical support. Pericytes have been implicated in numerous lung diseases including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and allergic asthma due to their ability to differentiate into scar-forming ...

An Intact Kidney Slice Model to Investigate Vasa Recta Properties and Function in situ [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Medullary blood flow is via vasa recta capillaries, which possess contractile pericytes. In vitro studies using isolated descending vasa recta show that pericytes can constrict/dilate descending vasa recta when vasoactive substances are ...
