Capillary pericytes express α-smooth muscle actin, which requires prevention of filamentous-actin depolymerization for detection
Recent evidence suggests that capillary pericytes are contractile and play a crucial role in the regulation of microcirculation. However, failure to detect components of the contractile apparatus in capillary pericytes, most notably α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), has questioned these findings. Using...
