Human Brain Vascular Pericytes, derived from normal human brain cortical tissue, are contractile smooth muscle-like cells that envelop the abluminal surface of microvessels, with a higher prevalence on venules and a presence on capillaries. This pericyte population exhibits notable variability across tissues and organs, displaying functional diversity. In the context of the brain, they serve as pivotal contributors to the establishment and maintenance of the blood-brain barrier, control angiogenesis, support endothelial cell survival, and engage in the clearance and phagocytosis of cellular debris, collectively safeguarding brain vascular integrity and function.
Why choose Human Brain Vascular Pericytes from AcceGen?
Human Brain Vascular Pericytes, cryopreserved at passage one (P1), are supplied in each vial with over 5×105 viable cells, ensuring ample material for experimentation. These cells come with a guarantee of expanding for up to 15 population doublings when following AcceGen’s provided instructions, facilitating robust and extended research opportunities.

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
Human Brain Vascular Pericytes find pivotal applications in various pathological conditions owing to their close association with endothelial cell structure and blood flow regulation. Both excess and deficiency in vascular pericyte activity have been linked to disorders such as hypertension, diabetic retinopathy, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and the formation of central nervous system tumors. These pericytes serve as valuable tools for research aimed at understanding and potentially mitigating these complex diseases, shedding light on potential therapeutic interventions and diagnostic strategies.
