Immune Functions and Properties of Resident Cells in the Heart and Cardiovascular System: Pericytes.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 2017

Kennedy-Lydon Teresa

Abstract excerpt

This chapter provides an introduction to pericyte physiology. Pericytes are smooth muscle-like cells that wrap around vessels and arterioles. Here, we discuss their structure, function, contractility and interaction with other cells including immune cells and finally their role in pathological processes. Additionally, we discuss recent studies describing pericyte populations in the heart and their potential as...
