Hedgehog-Responsive Perivascular Cells Called Master Switches of Vessel Repair
Original: Hedgehog-Responsive Perivascular Cells Emerge as Master Switches of Blood Vessel Repair and Disease
New research describes hedgehog-responsive perivascular cells, cells surrounding blood vessels that respond to the Hedgehog signalling pathway, as central regulators of vascular repair and disease. Scientists say these cells could act as master switches controlling how blood vessels heal after injury and how they malfunction in conditions involving vascular damage, opening possible new directions for regenerative medicine and treatment of vascular disease.
Why now: The identification of a single cell type controlling blood vessel repair has significant implications for treating vascular and degenerative diseases.
