The blood-brain barrier is a network of blood vessels and tissues that acts as a protective shield, preventing harmful substances in the blood from reaching the brain. In Alzheimer’s disease, this ...

Here are five recent innovative bioprinting and bioink studies that are building synthetic biological structures.

Nonetheless, it remains unclear how age affects this barrier’s function. To study this ... as well as fibroblasts and pericytes. In cell culture, senescent cells recruited macrophages and triggered ...

Researchers have found that the distribution and function of CAFs in ovarian cancer may be closely ... For example, fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is selectively expressed by CAFs and pericytes ...

pericytes, macrophages, and cardiomyocytes. Understanding how these metabolites influence signaling pathways is key to decoding the complex mechanisms governing cardiovascular function, disease ...

Abstract and Introduction Research Design and Methods Results Discussion References In summary, our study highlights the importance of the cross-talk between capillary cells as well as the role of ...

Insulin is a hormone that allows glucose in the blood to enter cells, providing them with the energy to function. A lack of adequate insulin plays a key role in the development of diabetes.

Here, we uncovered a positive correlation between the presence of pericytes in the tumor-associated vasculature and TNFα-induced leakage and drug delivery, especially when drugs were encapsulated in ...
