Epithelial cells residing in the fimbriated end of ligated fallopian tubes had a decreased capacity for forming in vitro organoids in a murine model. (A) Experimental schema for isolation and in vitro 3-dimensional growth of fallopian tube epithelia from both ligated and intact murine fallopian tubes. (B) Epithelia obtained from ligated murine fallopian tubes showed a significant decrease in number of cells capable of organoid formation compared to intact tubes. Cumulative results from 2 independent experiments are shown with mean ± standard deviation (SD).
