Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pericytes have been implicated in tissue repair, remodeling, and fibrosis. Although the mammalian heart contains abundant pericytes, their fate and involvement in myocardial disease remains unknown. METHODS: We used NG2Dsred;PDGFRαEGFP pericyte:fibroblast dual reporter mice and inducible NG2CreER mice to study the fate and phenotypic modulation of pericytes in myocardial infarction. The transcriptomic...
