Figure 2 Multifunctionality of pericyte-like mesenchymal stem cells in regenerative medicine.
This core schematic compares functional properties of CD146+ pericytes, CD34+ adventitial cells, and classical mesenchymal stem cells, highlighting their tissue-specific mechanisms. The diagram also illustrates the functional pleiotropy of CD45-CD73+CD39+CD146+ mesenchymal stem cells. MSC: Mesenchymal stem cell; TGF: Transforming growth factor; VEGF: Vascular endothelial growth factor; BMP: Bone morphogenetic protein; PDGF: Platelet-derived growth factor; IGF: Insulin-like growth factor; SCF: Stem cell factor.
