Mural cell: Neurodegenerative diseases, Synchronous calcium activity and vasomotion & Role in cardiovascular disease and treatment

Mural cells are a generalized cell population in the microcirculation that comprises vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs), and pericytes. Both types are in close contact with the endothelial cells lining the capillaries, and are important for vascular development and stability. The vasculature is a system of small, interconnected tubes that ensure there…
