Abstract excerpt
Brain capillary pericytes have been suggested to play a role in the regulation of cerebral blood flow under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. ATP has been shown to cause constriction of capillaries under ischemic conditions and suggested to be involved in the "no-reflow" phenomenon. To investigate the effects of extracellular ATP on pericyte cell contraction, we studied purinergic receptor...
