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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Pericytes in the infarcted heart [PDF]
Vascular Biology, 2019 The adult mammalian heart lacks regenerative capacity and heals through activation of an inflammatory cascade that leads to the formation of a collagen-based scar. Although scar formation is important to preserve the structural integrity of the ventricle, unrestrained inflammation and excessive fibrosis have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ...

Calcium Signalling in Pericytes [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Research, 2014 Recent advances in pericyte research have contributed to our understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of microvessels. The microvasculature consists of arteriolar and venular networks located upstream and downstream of the capillaries.

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.
