Fig. 5. AFSC-derived EV rescued organoids derived from NEC–injured intestinal tissue in a similar manner to Wnt.

Fig. 5

EV derived from AFSC cultured media were harvested and used in NEC organoids (a). AFSC-derived EV added to culture medium increased organoid growth in a similar manner to exogenous Wnt enriched culture medium (b, c). NEC organoids treated with exogenous Wnt and EV also displayed more spherical shape, higher surface area, and increased numbers as compared to controls (df). n = 4 for each group. Data are presented as means ± SD. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001, using unpaired Student’s t test or one-way ANOVA with post-hoc tests as appropriate.
