RESUMEN
Pericytes, endothelial cells (EC), astrocytes and extracellular space together constitute the blood-brain barrier. Pericytes and EC participate in the various regulations of blood-brain barriers through many mechanisms to maintain the stability of neurovascular units (NVU). The injury and repair of NVU involve a lot of signal transduction at molecular levels, and angiogenesis is primarily about the generation and maturation of EC and the supporting adhesion process of pericytes. This article briefly reviewed EC-related angiogenesis signaling pathways in pericytes after NVU ischemic injury.
