Figure 4. Neuro-vascular congruence in the embryonic and adult skin.

Figure 4

(A–E) Immuno-fluorescence detecting arteries (red) and nerves (green) in whole-mount limb skin preparations from E15.5 mouse embryos (A, 10X and B–D, 20X magnification). Nerves and vessels closely align (arrowheads). (E–H) Immuno-fluorescence detecting blood vessels (red) and nerves (green) in whole-mount ear skin preparations from adult mice (E, 10X and F–H, 20X magnification). Nerve-vessel alignment is maintained in the adult (arrowheads).
