Abstract excerpt
AIM: Diabetes-related cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) causes neurological deficits. Patients with diabetes showed pericyte loss as a hallmark of retinopathy. Cerebral pericytes, which densely localize around brain capillaries, are quiescent stem cells regulating regeneration of brain and may have a role in CSVD development. This study investigated whether diabetes impairs ischemia-provoked dedifferentiation...
