Pericyte marker subpopulation heterogeneity between neighboring cells in adult rat mesenteric microvascular networks. (A) Example of Desmin-positive cells wrapping around a SMA covered capillary in a quiescent scenario. (B) Example of NG2-positive pericytes along capillaries that co-localize to a sub-population of Desmin-positive cells during a wound healing response. (C) Example of an NG2-positive pericyte apparently along a capillary sprout off a SMA covered venule. Scale bars = 10 μm.
