    Progressive mural cell deficiencies across the lifespan in a foxf2 model of cerebral small vessel disease

    Merry Faye E Graff, Emma EM Heeg ... Sarah J Childs
    Loss of foxf2 in zebrafish leads to a reduced pericyte progenitor pool in embryos and progresses to severe cerebrovascular defects over the lifespan, suggesting that cerebral small vessel disease in adults has roots in development.
