Microvascular pericytes in brain-associated vascular disease.

The objective of this review is to highlight the role of pericytes in cerebral microvessels as well as their relationships with stroke, dementia, and brain tumor disease. The possible pathogenic mechanisms between pericytes and these diseases will also be described. As a matter of fact, the role of pericytes in the brain-associated vascular disease may provide new ideas for clinical treatment. PMID: 31743876 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
