We are pleased to add Human Brain Microvascular Pericytes (HBMVPCs) to our solution set for Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) Researchers. These join our Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells and hAstroPro Human Astrocyte+Astroglial-Neurons Co-Culturing Kits to round out our offerings of cells involved in BBB regulation.

Pericytes function at the BBB in at least two ways: by regulating BBB-specific gene expression patterns in endothelial cells, and by inducing polarization of astrocyte end-feet surrounding CNS blood vessels (see: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v468/n7323/full/nature09522.html).Questions? Do not hesitate to call me or e-mail me-612-801-1007 or pshuster@neuromics.com). Pete Shuster CEO and Owner.
