Pericyte ablation causes hypoactivity and reactive gliosis in adult mice
2023-10-31
Abstract excerpt
Pericytes are contractile cells that enwrap capillaries allowing them to control blood flow, maintain the blood-brain barrier and regulate immune cell trafficking in the CNS. Pericytes are lost or become dysfunctional in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and multiple sclerosis, but their role in health and disease is poorly understood.
