This study identifies PDGFD-ROCK-NMIIA signaling in pericytes as a driver of pathological neoangiogenesis in retinopathies, revealing cell-type-specific actomyosin contractility mechanisms.

This study shows that thrombolysis worsens cerebrovascular injury after ischemic stroke by increasing adipose lipolysis, which can be mitigated by VEGF-B antagonism.

This study shows imatinib reduces myofibroblast transdifferentiation and fibrotic scarring in ischemic stroke, improving functional outcomes in mice and overlapping with human stroke transcriptome data.
