Pericytes contract during myocardial ischemia resulting in capillary constriction and no reflow. Reversing pericyte contraction pharmacologically reduces no reflow and infarct size. These findings open up an entire new venue of research aimed at altering pericyte function in myocardial ischemia and infarction.
在心肌缺血期间,周细胞收缩会导致毛细血管收缩和无复流现象。通过药理学方法逆转周细胞收缩可减少无复流现象和梗死面积。这些发现开辟了一个全新的研究领域,旨在改变心肌缺血和梗死时周细胞的功能。
