Continued dysfunction of capillary pericytes promotes no-reflow after experimental stroke in vivo

Joshua James Shrouder, Gian Marco Calandra, Severin Filser, Dániel Péter Varga, Simon Besson‐Girard, Uta Mamrak, Maximilian Dorok, Buket Bulut-Impraim, Fatma Burcu Şeker, Benno G. Gesierich, Fabio Laredo, Antonia Clarissa Wehn, Igor Khalin, Patrick J. Bayer, Arthur Liesz, , Nikolaus Plesnila

The paper shows pericytes constrict during ischemia, remain constricted post-reperfusion, and contribute to no-reflow, with some surviving and upregulating transcripts, suggesting they are therapeutic targets.

Distinct mechanisms of CB1 and GABAB receptor presynaptic modulation of striatal indirect pathway projections to mouse Globus Pallidus

Giacomo Sitzia, Karina Possa Abrahao, Daniel J. Liput, Gian Marco Calandra, David M. Lovinger

The paper investigates how CB1 and GABAB receptors modulate presynaptic GABA release in striatal indirect pathway projections to the globus pallidus in mice, finding distinct mechanisms for each receptor.
