Pericyte Chemomechanics and the Angiogenic Switch: Insights Into the Pathogenesis of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy?
1 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To establish the regulatory roles that pericytes have in coordinating retinal endothelial cell (EC) growth and angiogenic potential. METHODS: Pericytes were derived from donor diabetic (DHuRP) or normal (NHuRP) human retinae, and characterized using vascular markers, coculture, contraction, morphogenesis, and proliferation assays. To investigate capillary "cross-talk," pericyte-endothelial coculture...
