Electromechanical Dynamics and Myogenic Responses in Cerebral Smooth Muscle Cells and Capillary Pericytes

2026-04-06

Abstract excerpt

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) control is essential for normal brain function and is disrupted in pathological conditions. Arterial diameters are tightly regulated to provide on demand increases in blood flow in regions of neuronal activity. Pericytes (PCs) exhibit robust myogenic tone and may also respond to neuronal activity to fine-tune local resistance and blood flow. Thus, mural control of microcirculatory resista...
