Brain Microvascular Pericytes—More than Bystanders in Breast Cancer Brain Metastasis

Brain Microvascular Pericytes—More than Bystanders in Breast Cancer Brain Metastasis

Brain tissue contains the highest number of perivascular pericytes compared to other organs. Pericytes are known to regulate brain perfusion and to play an important role within the neurovascular unit (NVU). The high phenotypic and functional plasticity of pericytes make this cell type a prime candi...
