  "summary": "Objective: Structural adaptations of capillary networks, through angiogenesis, arterialization, and regression, are implicated in many diseases, and gaining a better understanding of the cell-cell interactions that underpin these adaptations may lead to novel therapeutic discoveries for disease management. Endothelial cells and pericytes are the two cell types that comprise capillary networks.…",
