Organizational Hierarchy and Structural Diversity of Microvascular Pericytes in Adult Mouse Cortex

2017-03-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Smooth muscle cells and pericytes, together called mural cells, coordinate many distinct vascular functions. Smooth muscle cells are ring-shaped and cover arterioles with circumferential processes, whereas pericytes extend thin processes that run longitudinally along capillaries. In between these canonical mural cell types are cells with mixed phenotype of both smooth muscle cells and pericytes....
