Article Title: Identification of Piezo1 channels in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) and their potential role in vascular function
doi: 10.1016/j.phrs.2021.105995
Figure Lengend Snippet: Detection of Piezo1 in distinct layers (endothelium [E], media [M], and PVAT [P]) of isolated rat thoracic aorta (A), superior mesenteric artery (B), mesenteric resistance vessels (artery [A] and vein [V]) (C), and positive control rat kidney (D). L = lumen. Top panel for each set of images shows DAPI as a nuclei marker and FITC indicating Piezo1 signal, while bottom panel shows tissue without primary antibody (no 1°). White arrows indicate staining of interest. Images are representative of N = 5 taken at 20x with 100 μm scale bars bottom right.
