Abstract:
In the version of this Article originally published, the authors inadvertently included the term 'pericytic mimicry' in relation to ref. 54. This has now been corrected by inserting an additional reference at position 51 and amending the text in the Discussion relating to 'pericytic mimicry', ref. 54 and pericyte-like spreading. The original refs 51-70 have also been renumbered. Furthermore, Fig. 8l has been amended to remove the term 'pericyte mimicry' that the authors had included inadvertently during figure preparation. These corrections have been made in the online versions of the Article.
