Pericyte actomyosin-mediated contraction at the cell-material interface can modulate the microvascular niche
Pericytes physically surround the capillary endothelium, contacting and communicating with associated vascular endothelial cells via cell–cell and cell–matrix contacts. Pericyte–endothelial cell interactions thus have the potential to modulate growth and function of the microvasculature. Here we emp...
