Fig. 8. The tumoroid growth was enhanced when the vasculature was cultivated within a gel containing AdECM. (a) Colon tumoroids were co-cultured with vasculature formed in the gel with or without AdECM. (b and c) The vessel area and tumoroid area in the vascularized tumoroids were quantified using ImageJ from three independent samples. Scale bar = 200 μm. *P < 0.05, compared to vasculature cultivated in the gel without AdECM by Student's t-test. All data are shown as the mean (±SD).
