This volume explores novel concepts of pericyte biology. The present book is an attempt to
describe the most recent developments in the area of pericyte biology which is one of the
emergent hot topics in the field of molecular and cellular biology today. Here we present a
selected collection of detailed chapters on what we know so far about the pericytes. Together
with its companion volumes Pericyte Biology in Different Organs and Pericyte Biology in Disease
Pericyte Biology - Novel Concepts 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 diseases.
