Pericyte mechanics and mechanobiology [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2021 ABSTRACT Pericytes are mural cells of the microvasculature, recognized by their thin processes and protruding cell body. Pericytes wrap around endothelial cells and play a central role in regulating various endothelial functions, including angiogenesis and inflammation.

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 ...

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 ...

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2013 Pericytes were originally discovered more than100 years ago as contractile cells surrounding the endothelial cells of small blood vessels. Anatomists have later on strictly defined pericytes as cells sharing a basal membrane with the endothelium.

Immune regulation by pericytes: modulating innate and adaptive immunity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2016 Pericytes are mural cells that surround endothelial cells in small blood vessels. Pericytes have traditionally been credited with structural functions, being essential for vessel maturation and stabilization.

Characterization of Burn Eschar Pericytes
, 2020 Pericytes are cells that reside adjacent to microvasculature and regulate vascular function. Pericytes gained great interest in the field of wound healing and regenerative medicine due to their multipotential fate and ability to enhance angiogenesis.
