Capillary-associated microglia regulate vascular structure and function through PANX1-P2RY12 coupling in mice

Microglia are involved in debris clearance and synaptic pruning, among other processes. However, their direct interaction with the brain vasculature is less clear. Here, the authors show that capillary-associated microglia (CAMs) regulate vascular tone via PANX1-P2RY12 signalling.
