Ectopic calcification of blood vessels, heart valves, and skeletal muscle is a major clinical
problem. There is now good evidence that angiogenesis is associated with ectopic …

At postconfluence, cultured bovine pericytes isolated from retinal capillaries form three‐
dimensional nodule‐like structures that mineralize. Using a combination of Northern and …

Pericytes, an integral part of the microvasculature, are involved in a number of different
processes, including angiogenesis. Many of the early studies on these cells are descriptive …

Modulation of angiogenesis is now a recognized strategy for the prevention and treatment of
pathologies categorized by their reliance on a vascular supply. The purpose of this study …

Pericytes are defined by their location in vivo; the pericyte partially surrounds the endothelial
cell of the microvessel and shares a common basement membrane with it. As an integral …

Background—Previous studies have shown that pericytes can differentiate into osteoblasts
and form bone. This study investigated whether pericytes can also differentiate into …

Aims Vascular calcification (VC) is highly correlated with increased morbidity and mortality in
advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Allosteric modulation of the calcium …

Pericytes isolated from the bovine retinal microvasculature retain characteristic features of
their in vivo counterparts, such as the presence of glycogen deposits, long filamentous …

Current prosthetic small diameter vascular grafts show poor long-term patency rates, leading
to the pursuit of a biological alternative. Hyaff-11 is a hyaluronan-based biodegradable …

The aberrant differentiation of pericytes along the adipogenic, chondrogenic, and
osteogenic lineages may contribute to the development and progression of several vascular …
