文摘Microvascular dysfunction has been implicated in many diseases such as stroke and diabetes.In addition to the microvascular endothelial cell(EC),the pericyte,a perivascular cell that adheres to the abluminal side of the EC may also be important to ensure proper microvascular function.As a prominent perivascular cell,the pericyte has garnered increasing attention for its multiple functional aspects,especially the pericyte of central nervous system(Yemisci et al.,2009;Armulik et al.,2010;Gaceb et al.,2018).
