Image from the lab of Li Lai. The FSP-YFP fibroblast lineage tracing mouse underwent vascular recovery for 7 days following hindlimb ischemia, after which it was perfused with Lectin to label functional vessels. Whole-mount staining of the Tibialis Anterior muscle with the pericyte marker NG2 and the fibroblast lineage marker YFP revealed that fibroblast-lineage cells (YFP⁺) contribute to functional endothelial cells (Lectin⁺) within microvessels exhibiting NG2⁺ pericyte coverage.
