, 2019 Liver pericytes, commonly named hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), reside in the space between liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and hepatocytes. They display important roles in health and disease. HSCs ensure the storage of the majority of vitamin A in a healthy body, and they represent the major source of fibrotic tissue in liver disease ...

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.

Sympathetic nerve-derived ATP regulates renal medullary blood flow via vasa recta pericytes [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. We have previously shown that exogenous ATP causes constriction of vasa

Isolation of endothelial cells, pericytes and astrocytes from mouse brain [PDF]
, 2019 Primary cell isolation from the central nervous system (CNS) has allowed fundamental understanding of blood-brain barrier (BBB) properties. However, poorly described isolation techniques or suboptimal cellular purity has been a weak point of some ...

Pulmonary pericytes regulate lung morphogenesis [PDF]
, 2018 Blood vessels are essential for blood circulation but also control organ growth, homeostasis, and regeneration, which has been attributed to the release of paracrine signals by endothelial cells.

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 ...

Neural pericytes: A genomic archival state programmed by CHromatin topology
European Journal of Cell Biology, 2022 Accumulating evidence suggests that mural pericytes, apart from stabilizing the associated microvessels, play additional roles in regeneration of local cellular elements.

Brain Microvascular Pericytes—More than Bystanders in Breast Cancer Brain Metastasis
Cells, 2022 Brain tissue contains the highest number of perivascular pericytes compared to other organs. Pericytes are known to regulate brain perfusion and to play an important role within the neurovascular unit (NVU).
