The abstract states that iPSC-PC retain vascular and phagocytic functions under hypoxic conditions but provides no mechanistic explanation. Understanding these hypoxia-resistance mechanisms is critical for optimizing pericyte-based therapies for stroke and neurodegeneration where hypoxia is prevalent.
