Human Brain Microvascular Pericytes
Quick Actions
Product Overview
Description
Human Brain Microvascular Pericytes are unique and specialized support cells that reside around the microcapillaries of the brain. These essential cells play a vital role in upholding the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, a critical protective shield that regulates the movement of substances between the bloodstream and the brain.
By supporting the stability of endothelial cells, which line the blood vessels, pericytes help maintain the proper structure and function of the vascular system in the brain. Additionally, they regulate vascular permeability, ensuring that only the appropriate molecules pass through to nourish brain tissue while keeping harmful substances at bay.
Through their contributions, pericytes are integral to the complex interplay of cells and systems that support neurovascular function, impacting overall brain health and activity.
Guarantee expansion for a minimum of 2-6 population doublings.
IMPORTANT: Quality warranty requires use of NeoBioPharma media. Biohazardous material despite negative pathogen testing. Quality claims must be reported within 1 month.
