Increased desmin expression in repetitive mild blast-induced traumatic brain injury. Representative immunofluorescence microscopy images of desmin (green), costained with RECA-1 (red) and DAPI (blue) in sham (a, b), single blast (c, d), triple blast (e, f) and triple blast day 3 groups (g, h) (n = 4). i There was a 1.60-fold (p < 0.01) increase in desmin expression in the pericytes within the triple blast injury group. Scale bar = 50 µm, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001, error bars show standard deviation (SD)
