Pericytes regulate VEGF-induced endothelial sprouting through VEGFR1

Pericytes are essential for the development, maintenance and function of vascular networks. Here, Eilken and colleagues show that expression of the decoy receptor VEGFR1 by pericytes spatially restricts VEGF signalling, thus regulating VEGF-induced endothelial cell sprouting in developing tissues.
