Abstract excerpt
Pericytes are multifunctional mural cells that contribute to vascular stability, inflammation, and fibrosis in the central nervous system. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a potent activator of protein kinase C (PKC), is widely used to induce cellular activation and inflammatory responses in various cell types. In this study, we investigated how PMA affects human brain pericyte phenotypes and gene...
