FIGURE 4.
Overall description of our living cranio-/orofacial cell repository. (A) Graphical illustration indicating the anatomical origin of stored tissue biopsies (including non-cranio-/orofacial-derived specimens). Light pink indicates skin-derived specimens; pink indicates mucocutaneous junction area-derived specimens; red indicates mucosal-derived specimens; while light yellow indicates tooth-derived specimens. Furthermore, a green border depicts healthy tissue while a red border represents tissue with anomalies. For the gingiva, we have both healthy and diseased tissues (green and red border). The number in the boxes in brackets represents the amount of tissues available. (B) Bar chart reporting the source of the specimens that were obtained for the generation of the living cell biobank. Total number of cranio-/orofacial region biopsies: 92 biopsies. (C) Bar chart of the outcome after tissue biopsy processing. The color code is shown in the legend. Total number of biopsies: 92.
