Cellular Model of Atherogenesis Based on Pluripotent Vascular Wall Pericytes
Pericytes are pluripotent cells that can be found in the vascular wall of both microvessels and large arteries and veins. They have distinct morphology with long branching processes and form numerous contacts with each other and with endothelial cells, organizing the vascular wall cells into a three...
