Pericytes are cells involved in the structure and function of all arteries. Their role has been investigated during the past few years but has not been fully elucidated yet.
This Research Topic welcomes basic, translational, clinical, and applied research that improves our understanding of the role of pericytes in physiology and pathophysiology. Potential areas of interest may include, but are not limited to:
- pericyte-endothelial signaling in health and disease;
- pericyte signaling in capillaries in health and disease;
- pericyte diversity: linking structure and function in health and disease;
- pericyte and their role in the modulation of brain energy metabolism;
- pericyte and cerebral artery smooth muscle ion channels- commonalities and differences.
We welcome submissions of different article types to this collection, especially reviews, mini-reviews, and original research papers.
Even though abstract submission is not mandatory, we encourage all interested researchers to submit an abstract before submitting their manuscript. Abstracts do not have to coincide with the final abstract of the manuscripts.
