Figure 1. Enteric glia are found in close proximity to the intestinal epithelium.
(A) Immunohistochemical staining of a small intestinal cross-section from a Vil1CreRosa26tdTomato/+Plp1eGFP transgenic mouse in which enteric glia are labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP) and intestinal epithelial cells are labeled with tdTomato. Mucosal glia closely associate with epithelial cells in villi (B) and in crypts (C). Scale bar = 20μm
