A new study reveals the crucial role of vascular system cells -- known as pericytes -- in the formation of long-term memories of life events -- memories that are lost in diseases such as Alzheimer's ...

In the center of your body’s repair system are tiny cells with mighty power—pericytes. These small but active cells surround the smallest blood vessels and help maintain and heal tissues. Now, new ...

Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests. In mouse experiments, scientists introduced ...

Research on long-term memories has largely focused on the role of neurons—the brain’s nerve cells. However, in recent years, scientists are discovering that other cell types are also vital in memory ...
