Frequently Asked Questions
What are Human Retinal Pericyte Cells?
Human Retinal Pericyte Cells are specialized cells that wrap around the endothelial cells of retinal capillaries. They play a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity and function of the retinal blood-brain barrier and regulate blood flow in the retina.
What are the typical functions of Human Retinal Pericyte Cells?
Human Retinal Pericyte Cells regulate capillary blood flow, support endothelial cell health, promote vessel stability, and maintain the structural integrity of retinal vasculature. They also play a role in angiogenesis and response to injury.
How are Human Retinal Pericyte Cells isolated?
These cells are typically isolated from human retinal tissue by enzymatic digestion, followed by selective culture techniques that enrich for pericyte populations. This process yields cells that retain their functional characteristics for use in research.
How does the loss of Human Retinal Pericyte Cells contribute to diabetic retinopathy?
Pericyte loss is a hallmark of diabetic retinopathy, a common complication of diabetes. Without pericytes, retinal capillaries become more permeable, leading to vascular leakage, retinal edema, and eventually vision loss. Studying these cells helps researchers understand the progression of this disease.
What are the potential applications of Human Retinal Pericyte Cells in research?
These cells are used in research focused on retinal vascular health, neurovascular diseases, and vascular dysfunctions such as diabetic retinopathy. They are also utilized in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine studies aiming to repair or replace damaged retinal vasculature.
