The generation and characterization of CTRP9-CreERT2 knock-in mice for targeting endothelial cell muscle and adipose tissues
Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) exhibit significant diversity in different tissues. To elucidate the distinct physiological roles of individual EC subtypes, genetic mouse lines utilizing the Cre-loxP recombination system are crucial. However, there is still a lack of Cre mouse lines that specifically target muscle ECs...
