eLife, 2018 Recent evidence suggests that capillary pericytes are contractile and play a crucial role in the regulation of microcirculation. However, failure to detect components of the contractile apparatus in capillary pericytes, most notably α-smooth muscle actin

The role played by perivascular cells in kidney interstitial injury [PDF]
, 2014 Fibrosis of the kidney is a disease affecting millions worldwide and is a harbinger of progressive loss of organ function resulting in organ failure. Recent findings suggest that understanding mechanisms of development and progression of fibrosis will ...

Cells, 2023 Pericytes are specialized cells located in close proximity to endothelial cells within the microvasculature. They play a crucial role in regulating blood flow, stabilizing vessel walls, and maintaining the integrity of the blood–brain barrier. The loss of pericytes has been associated with the development and progression of various diseases, such as ...

Pericytes and the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy [PDF]
, 2002 Pericytes provide vascular stability and control endothelial proliferation. Pericyte loss, microaneurysms, and acellular capillaries are characteristic for the diabetic retina.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of PDGFRβ expression in pericytes and glial scar formation in penetrating brain injuries in adults [PDF]
, 2019 Aims: Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of reactive cell types following brain injury is important for future therapeutic interventions. We have previously used penetrating cortical injuries following intracranial recordings as a brain repair ...

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.

Contractile apparatus in CNS capillary pericytes [PDF]
, 2022 Significance: Whether or not capillary pericytes contribute to blood flow regulation in the brain and retina has long been debated. This was partly caused by failure of detecting the contractile protein alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) in capillary ...
