Neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases cause considerable human suffering,
and therapy options for these two disease categories are limited or non‐existing. It is an …

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic not only resulted in millions of acute infections worldwide, but
also in many cases of post-infectious syndromes, colloquially referred to as “long COVID” …

Perivascular cells in the pericytic microvasculature, pericytes and CD34+ stromal
cells/telocytes (CD34+ SCs/TCs), have an important role in angiogenesis. We compare the …

Type 2 diabetes is associated with microvascular dysfunction, but little is known about how
capillary ultrastructure is affected by exercise training. To investigate the effect of two types …

(1) Background: Aging is associated with a progressive decline in muscle mass and
function. Aging is also a primary risk factor for metabolic syndrome, which further alters …

Maximum oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle measured by in vivo phosphorus magnetic
resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS) declines with age, and negatively affects whole-body …

The basement membrane (BM) surrounding capillaries in skeletal muscles varies
physiologically in thickness according to age, physical fitness, and anatomical site in …

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic not only resulted in millions of acute infections worldwide, but
also caused innumerable cases of post-infectious syndromes, colloquially referred to as …

It is unclear how microangiopathic changes in skeletal muscle vary among systemic
vascular pathologies. We therefore analyzed the capillary fine structure in skeletal muscle …

Skeletal muscle is highly vascularized, with perfusion being tightly regulated to meet wide-
ranging metabolic demands. For decades, the capillary supply has been explored mainly in …
