This study shows that THIK-1 K+ channels in microglia regulate phagocytosis and synaptic pruning, with loss of THIK-1 increasing synaptic density in the hippocampus.

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 binding to ACE2 on pericytes enhances angiotensin II-induced cerebral capillary constriction via AT1 receptors, suggesting AT1 blockers may mitigate brain blood flow reduction in infection.

This study shows that amyloid β oligomers constrict human capillaries via pericyte signaling, reducing blood flow and contributing to Alzheimer’s disease pathology.
