Hemorrhage in PDGF-B knockout mice is correlated to lack of microvascular pericytes with subsequent formation of capillary microaneurysms. The mechanism of PDGF-B dependent recruitment of pericytes is discussed.

The ability of PDGF-Rβ knockout cells to contribute to different cell types in chimeric mice between Rβ knockout and wild-type cells is investigated. The authors show that Rβ plays a role in the develoment of all muscle lineages.

Development 1998; in press. The stage of glomerular formation is revealed at which mesangial cell development fails in PDGF-B and PDGF-Rβ knockout mice. The cellular mechanisms implicated in this process are proliferation and migration. The autonomous need for Rp by mesangial cells is demonstrated using chimeric mice.
