Co-Culture of microglia-like cells with ventral, dorsal or ventral/dorsal organoids: BrDU and Ca2+ transient assays. Spatial cell distribution of microglia-like cells in co-culture. Microglia-like cells were labeled with microdevices. (A) Overlay of phase contrast images with fluorescent images to show the integration of microglia-like cells within dorsal spheroids, ventral spheroids; and ventral/dorsal spheroids. Red arrows point to the microglia inside the spheroids. Scale bar: 100 μm. (B) BrdU assays for cell proliferation. (i) Fluorescent images of BrdU+ cells. Scale bar: 100 μm. (ii) Quantification of BrdU+ cells. (C) Ca2+ transient assays (induced by ADP). (i) Quantification of Ca2+ fluorescent signals; (ii) Fluorescent images of Ca2+ transient expression. Scale bar: 100 μm. *Indicates p < 0.05 for the different test conditions.
