Fig. 10From: The protective effects of pericyte-derived microvesicles on vascular endothelial functions via CTGF delivery in sepsisThe schematic diagram for the mechanism of the therapeutic effect of PMVs on VEC functions in sepsis. PMVs delivered CTGF to VECs and activating the CTGF-ERK1/2-STAT3 axis, and subsequently improved the proliferation and angiogenesis ability in VECs, thereby restoring vascular functions in sepsisBack to article page
