From: Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor expression in advanced atherosclerotic plaques
FSHR1-positive neovessels in human atherosclerotic plaques are immature blood vessels. Double immunofluorescence on atherosclerotic plaque tissue confirmed that vWF-positive blood vessels (asterisk, red staining) associated with atherosclerotic plaques lacked pericyte coverage and therefore are immature (no green staining for αSMA on mural cells). Scale bar: 50 μm. Inset: mature venule with pericyte investment (green staining). Scale bar: 50 μm.
