Deskripsi

Pericytes are perivascular cells that regulate blood vessel formation and function. Here Dubrac et al. show that pericyte recruitment contributes to pathological neovascularisation in a mouse model of ischemic retinopathy, and that this depends on the regulation of PDGF-B signaling by NCK adaptor proteins.
