Figure 6. Acquisition of SASP by heavy ion radiation-induced senescent ISCs. ISC sections from control and irradiated mice were co-stained for SASP marker VEGF (green) and senescent marker Glb1 (red) showing acquisition of secretory phenotype by senescent cells after heavy ion radiation exposure. Scale bar, 5 μm.
