Here, we present a selected collection of thirteen detailed chapters on what we know so far about pericytes in distinct organs in physiological and pathological conditions. Further, it provides an update on the most novel functions attributed to these cells and will introduce a newer generation of researchers and scientists to the importance of these cells, ranging from their discovery in different organs through current state-of-the-science. It will be invaluable for both advanced cell biology students as well as researchers in cell biology, stem cells and vascular research. This volume explores pericytes' physiologic roles in different tissues, ranging from the pancreas, lungs and liver through skeletal muscle, gut, retina and more. Together with its companion volumes Pericyte Biology in Disease and Pericyte Biology ? Novel Concepts, Pericyte Biology in Different Organs presents a comprehensive update on the latest information and most novel functions attributed to pericytes. To those researchers newer to this area, it will be useful to have the background information on these cells' unique history. It will be invaluable for both advanced cell biology students as well as researchers in cell biology, stem cells and researchers or clinicians involved with specific organs. . 410 0$aAdvances in Experimental Medicine and Biology,$x0065-2598 ;$v1122 606 $aStem cells 606 $aRegenerative medicine 606 $aTissue engineering 606 $aCancer research 606 $aStem Cells$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16010 606 $aRegenerative Medicine/Tissue Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16080 606 $aCancer Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B11001 615 0$aStem cells. 615 0$aRegenerative medicine. 615 0$aTissue engineering. 615 0$aCancer research. 615 14$aStem Cells. 615 24$aRegenerative Medicine/Tissue Engineering. 615 24$aCancer Research. 676 $a611.0187 676 $a611.0187 702 $aBirbrair$b Alexander$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337955803321 996 $aPericyte Biology in Different Organs$92287951 997 $aUNINA
