Pericytes in cutaneous wound healing -- Pericytes in glioblastomas: multifaceted role within tumor microenvironments and potential for therapeutic interventions -- Pericytes in breast cancer -- Pericytes in sarcomas and other mesenchymal tumors -- Pericytes in metastasis -- The role of pericytes in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis -- Pericytes in Alzheimer's Disease: novel clues to cerebral amyloid angiopathy pathogenesis -- Pericytes in Multiple Sclerosis -- Pericytes in ischemic stroke -- Pericytes in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia -- Pericytes in primary familial brain calcification -- Pericytes in type 2 diabetes -- Pericytes in atherosclerosis -- Pericytes in chronic lung disease -- Pericytes in muscular dystrophies -- Index .

This volume explores pericytes' roles under distinct pathological conditions, ranging from tumors, ALS, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, stroke, diabetes, atherosclerosis, muscular dystrophies and more. Together with its companion volumes Pericyte Biology in Different Organs and Pericyte Biology - Novel Concepts, Pericyte Biology in Disease presents a comprehensive update on the latest information and most novel functions attributed to pericytes. To those researchers newer to this area, it will be useful to have the background information on these cells' unique history. It will be invaluable for both advanced cell biology students as well as researchers in cell biology, stem cell biology and clinicians involved with these specific diseases.
