The increase of pericyte population in human neuromuscular disorders supports their role in muscle regeneration <i>in vivo</i>
30 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Pericytes are periendothelial cells that have been involved in many different functions including a possible role as mesodermal stem/progenitor cells. In the present study we demonstrate that alkaline phosphatase (AP) expression is specific for human muscular pericytes and can be used as a marker to identify them in skeletal muscle biopsies. We studied the pericyte population in skeletal muscle biopsies from...
