Seizure progression and inflammatory mediators promote pericytosis and pericyte-microglia clustering at the cerebrovasculature

Background: Cerebrovascular dysfunction and inflammation occur in epilepsy. Here we asked whether pericytes, a pivotal cellular component of brain capillaries, undergo pathological modifications during experimental epileptogenesis and in human epilepsy. We evaluated whether pro-inflammatory cytokine...
