Endothelial lineage-derived Yfp+ cells undergo EndMT and give rise to Fap+ fibroblast-like cells within intimal plaques. Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy with z-stack acquisition of a thoracic aortic section from a tamoxifen-induced end. SclCreERT;R26RstopYfp;ApoE-/- mice fed with 30 weeks of HFD revealed intimal plaque Yfp+ cells co-expressing the fibroblast marker Fap. Movie corresponds to the same section as displayed in Fig. 2c.
