Pericyte physiology
Abstract
Endothelial cells are the primary physical barrier between blood and tissue in microvessels. The other capillary and post‐capillary venule wall cell is the pericyte. The literature on the biology of endothelium is appreciable but less is known about pericytes. Pericytes are morphologically, biochemically, and physiologically heterogeneous. Some of pericyte functional characteristics observed in vivo and in vitro are that they: regulate endothelial proliferation and differentiation; contract in manners that either exacerbate or stem endothelial cell functional inflammatory leakage; function as a progenitor cell; synthesize and secrete a wide variety of vasoactive autoregulating agonists; synthesize and release structural constituents of the basement membrane and extracellular matrix. Pericytes are also involved in specific microvascular diseases. This review focuses principally on nonmesangial pericytes and specific activities such as the posttranslational, short‐term responses that affect microvascular perfusion and permeability, and on pericyte‐endothelial cell interaction.—Shepro, D., Morel, N.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
