This study shows downstream capillary pericytes express -SMA and regulate blood flow through torsional contractions, challenging the view that capillaries are passive.

This study uses OCT to track changes in stroke lesions after cell grafting, finding that lesion contraction and graft survival are influenced by lesion size and severity.

This study develops a Bessel beam two-photon microscope to detect capillary stalling events in stroke models, showing increased stalling beyond the acute phase.
