Product Overview
Description
These specialized cells are known as pericytes, which are closely associated with the intricate network of microvessels in the human brain. They are essential for maintaining the integrity of the endothelial barrier, which protects the brain from harmful substances while allowing essential nutrients to pass through. Additionally, pericytes contribute to the overall stability of blood vessels, promote the formation of new blood vessels through a process called angiogenesis, and facilitate effective communication between cells within the neurovascular unit.
The use of red fluorescent protein (RFP) labeling provides researchers with a powerful tool to visualize pericytes in action. This signal allows for real-time observation of their unique shapes, movements, and rates of division, as well as their interactions with surrounding endothelial cells a key aspect of understanding the complex dynamics of brain vascular health and pathology.
Guarantee expansion for a minimum of 2-5 population doublings.
