Fig 6. Behavior of cell populations over time.

While two (dysplastic CB-B and CP-C) out of four studied cell types mostly retained the initial cell population size and shape, metaplastic CP-A and dysplastic CP-D cells exhibited more motile phenotype. The cells of the latter two cell types dispersed after 24 hours of incubation resulted in almost complete disappearance of the initial population shape. The ECM mixture was deposited using the two locations/two droplets deposition pattern. Scale bar 100 μm.
