The Pericyte Connectome: Spatial Precision of Neurovascular Coupling Is Driven by Selective Connectivity Maps of Pericytes and Endothelial Cells and Is Disrupted in Diabetes

Pericytes connected predominantly to other neighboring pericytes and endothelial cells, and less to arteriolar smooth muscle cells, and not to surrounding neurons or glia.
[Cell Discovery]

Abstract

Drop-on-Demand Cell Bioprinting via Laser Induced Side Transfer (LIST)

Researchers showed that LIST-printed HUVECS present negligible loss of viability and maintain their abilities to migrate, proliferate and form intercellular junctions.

Biallelic MFSD2A Variants Associated with Congenital Microcephaly, Developmental Delay, and Recognizable Neuroimaging Features

Major Facilitator Superfamily Domain containing 2a (MFSD2A) is an essential endothelial lipid transporter at the blood-brain barrier. Researchers carried out a detailed analysis of the clinical and neuroradiological features of a series of 27 MCPH15 cases, including eight new individuals from seven unrelated families.

REVIEWS

The Vascular Endothelium: The Cornerstone of Organ Dysfunction in Severe SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Venous thrombotic events, particularly pulmonary embolism, with elevated D-dimer and coagulation activation are highly prevalent in COVID-19 patients. The pro-inflammatory cytokine storm, with elevated levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-2 receptor, and tumor necrosis factor-α, could also participate in endothelial dysfunction and leukocyte recruitment in the microvasculature.
