Microvascular homeostasis is compromised in pancreatic islets in a mouse model of beta cell loss and low-grade inflammation

Luciana Mateus Gonçalves, Isha S. Shirvaikar, Konstandina Sideris…·Joana Almaça

This study shows that pericyte dysfunction in pancreatic islets leads to vascular abnormalities and inflammation before diabetes onset in mice treated with streptozotocin.
