Microcirculation
. 2010 Jul;
17(5):367-80.
PMID: 20618694
Objective: Pericytes are critical cellular components of the microvasculature that play a major role in vascular development and pathologies, yet their study has been hindered by lack of a standardized...

Transplantation
. 2009 Jan;
87(2):189-97.
PMID: 19155972
Background: Nearly half of all infiltrating leukocytes in rejecting human allografts are macrophages, yet, in comparison with T cells, much less is known about the contribution of this cell type...
