THE PERICYTE OF THE PANCREATIC ISLET REGULATES CAPILLARY DIAMETER AND LOCAL BLOOD FLOW

Efficient insulin secretion requires a well-functioning pancreatic islet microvasculature. The dense network of islet capillaries includes the islet pericyte, a cell that has barely been studied. Here we show that islet pericytes help control local blood flow by adjusting islet capillary diameter. I...
