Pericytes are vascular mural cells which play multiple roles in angiogenesis and maintenance of blood vessel morphology and stability. In this review, we analyze recent data on the participation of pericytes in the pathogenesis of proliferative and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, as well as an emerging role in other angiogenic ocular diseases ...

This review chapter describes the current knowledge about the nature of pericytes in the gut, their interaction with endothelial cells in blood vessels, and their pathophysiological functions in the setting of chronic liver disease. In particular, it focuses on the role of these vascular cell types and related molecular signaling pathways in ...

Pericytes (PCs) are specialized cells located abluminal of endothelial cells (ECs) on capillaries, embedded within the same basement membrane. They are essential regulators of vascular development, remodeling, and blood-retina-barrier (BRB) tightness and are therefore important components to maintain tissue homeostasis.

Microcirculation is the generic name for the finest level of the circulatory system and consists of arteriolar and venular networks located upstream and downstream of capillaries, respectively. Anatomically arterioles are surrounded by a monolayer of spindle-shaped smooth muscle cells (myocytes), while terminal branches of precapillary arterioles ...

Pericytes in Multiple Sclerosis
2019Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS), particularly, in young adults. Current MS treatments aim to reduce demyelination; however, these have limited efficacy, display side effects and lack of regenerative activities.

The lung has numerous roles, including gas exchange, immune surveillance, and barrier function. Being a highly vascularized organ, the lung receives dual blood supply from both the pulmonary and bronchial circulation. Therefore, pericytes likely play a prominent role in lung physiology given their localization in the perivascular niche.

The zebrafish is an outstanding model for studying vascular biology in vivo. Pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells can be imaged as they associate with vessels and provide stability and integrity to the vasculature. In zebrafish, pericytes associate with the cerebral and trunk vasculature on the second day of development, as assayed by pdgfrβ and ...
