Pericytes are known as the mural cells in small-caliber vessels that interact closely with the
endothelium. Pericytes play a key role in vasculature formation and homeostasis, and when …

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), one of the common complications of diabetes, is the leading
cause of visual loss in working-age individuals in many industrialized countries. It has been …

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a leading cause of vision loss and blindness worldwide, is
caused by retinal neurovascular unit dysfunction, and its cellular pathology involves at least …

Pericytes have been implicated in various neuropathologies, yet little is known about their
function and signaling pathways in health. Here, we characterized calcium dynamics of …

Background Several retinal pathologies exhibit both inflammation and breakdown of the
inner blood-retinal barrier (iBRB) resulting in vascular permeability, suggesting that …

Pericytes are mural cells of the microvasculature, recognized by their thin processes and
protruding cell body. Pericytes wrap around endothelial cells and play a central role in …

Patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) frequently exhibit a distinctive cardiac
phenotype known as diabetic cardiomyopathy. Cardiac complications associated with T2DM …

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular disorder characterized by inner blood-retinal
barrier (iBRB) breakdown and irreversible vision loss. While the symptoms of DR are known …

Cognitive impairment associated with vascular etiology has been of considerable interest in
the development of dementia. Recent studies have started to uncover cerebral blood flow …

Alterations in vascular networks, including angiogenesis and capillary regression, play key
roles in disease, wound healing, and development. The spatial structures of blood vessels …
