Pericytes derived from adipose-derived stem cells protect against retinal vasculopathy.

Pericytes derived from adipose-derived stem cells protect against retinal vasculopathy.

BACKGROUND:Retinal vasculopathies, including diabetic retinopathy (DR), threaten the vision of over 100 million people. Retinal pericytes are critical for microvascular control, supporting retinal endothelial cells via direct contact and paracrine mechanisms. With pericyte death or loss, endothelial...
