Distribution of CGRP in Healthy and Painful Skin

Caption

Images show skin epidermal keratinocytes after immunolabeling for the nerve marker PGP (green; axons in epidermis) and the neuropeptide Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide, CGRP (red; axons and cells). Cell bodies are stained with DAPI (blue). Keratinocytes in painful skin show a dramatic increase in CGRP expression compared with non-painful control skin.
