Pericytes, the multifunctional cells that work within the walls of capillaries, have been a subject of focus in the study of vascular development, cerebral blood flow, cancer, and neurodevelopment ...

A new study reveals the crucial role of vascular system cells -- known as pericytes -- in the formation of long-term memories of life events -- memories that are lost in diseases such as Alzheimer's ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have identified a specific biological mechanism by which GLP-1 drugs, the same class ...

A recent study reveals that SARS-CoV-2 may damage blood vessels without infecting cells directly. A recent study reveals the details of how SARS-CoV-2 affects pericytes, a cell type critical for the ...

New research suggests that weight loss drugs GLP-1s could help the heart heal after a heart attack. Here's exactly how.

In the center of your body’s repair system are tiny cells with mighty power—pericytes. These small but active cells surround the smallest blood vessels and help maintain and heal tissues. Now, new ...

(Top) Pericytes (P, green) are cells tightly wrapped around the wall of the retinal capillaries, in close contact with endothelial cells (EC, dark pink) and other supporting cells (blue). These form ...
