Figure 1. Spheroids generated from HNSCC lines in serum-free medium have self-renewing capacity.
Representative pictures of the cell line UD-SCC1 are shown. (A) The first generation of spheroids. (B) A subspheroid formed after seeding at a concentration of 1,000 cells/ml. (C) A spheroid formed in the 21st generation. (D) Spheroid adhering and growing to confluence after replating into flasks coated for tissue culture. (E) Parental cell line grown permanently as a monolayer culture.
