- Study reveals interpericyte tunneling nanotubes regulate blood flow patterns in mice.
- These nanotubes help homogenize blood flow by modulating capillary responses.
- Homogenization supplies functionally opposite neuronal areas in the retina.
- Loss of nanotubes from injury disrupts flow homogenization, affecting neurovascular coupling.
