The adipokine leptin modulates adventitial pericyte functions by autocrine and paracrine signalling
Abstract Transplantation of adventitial pericytes (APCs) improves recovery from tissue ischemia in preclinical animal models by still unknown mechanisms. This study investigates the role of the adipokine leptin (LEP) in the regulation of human APC biological functions. Transcriptomic analysis of APC...
