“…After the cutting, the agarose surrounding each slice was removed. The permeabilization and staining protocols were modified from those of Murray et al, 2015 following the Costantini et al, 2021 [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ] protocol, as described below. Samples were first incubated in the ice-cold SWITCH-OFF solution (4% glutaraldehyde (GA) in PBS 1 X and KHP 0.1 M, titrated with HCl to pH = 3) for 1 day at 4 °C with gentle shaking, then incubated for 1 day in the SWITCH-ON solution (0.5% GA in PBS 1 X, pH = 7.6) for 1 day at 4 °C with gentle shaking.…”
