This study identifies progressive pericyte recruitment to placental capillaries and shows that soluble PDGFRβ isoforms modulate PDGF-BB signaling in response to hypoxia.

This study investigates how murine cerebral capillary endothelial and pericyte cells respond to blood flow cessation, finding that pericytes mediate microvascular constriction via ET-1 and alter endothelial tight junctions.

This paper optimizes a protocol for isolating murine BBB capillaries and evaluates its effectiveness in reducing non-vascular and non-capillary material.

The paper shows pericytes communicate with endothelial cells during vasculogenesis via Cx43 gap junctions, using mouse embryonic stem cells and live imaging.

The paper identifies molecular markers for perisynaptic Schwann cells (PSCs) and shows they have a unique molecular signature related to synapse function.
