The Pericytic Phenotype of Adipose Tissue-Derived Stromal Cells Is Promoted by NOTCH2
25 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
Long-term diabetes leads to macrovascular and microvascular complication. In diabetic retinopathy (DR), persistent hyperglycemia causes permanent loss of retinal pericytes and aberrant proliferation of microvascular endothelial cells (ECs). Adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs) may serve to functionally replace retinal pericytes and normalize retinal microvasculature during disease progression. We...
