FIGURE 1.
Effect of obesity on organoid-transplant models engraftment and growth. (A) Obesity accelerated the engraftment rate of preinvasive preneoplastic (mP) and neoplastic (mT) organoid models. Engraftment rate was represented as percentage of mice with pancreatic cysts respect to all mice of each group. (B) Ultrasound imaging of pancreatic cysts; the volume was reports as the increase of external epithelium (red line). (C) Volume analysis of pancreatic cysts. Data of each group were reported as mean and 95%CI; (D) cystic neoplasm closure. All the measures were taken with ultrasound technology (VEVO 2100). *, p < 0.05; ***, p < 0.001; by two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-tests. The borders distance of each cyst was measured with ImageJ software; Red line, external epithelium; Blue line, internal epithelium.
