Figure Lengend Snippet: Three-dimensional osteogenic differentiation culture using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). ( a ) Schema showing three-dimensional osteogenic differentiation culture using hiPSCs. ( b ) Sections of the sponge were incubated for 28 days, and then stained with Alizarin Red S. Positive areas can be observed at the edges of the sponge. COL1A1 expression was analyzed using confocal laser microscopy. ( c ) Atelocollagen sponge without seeded hiPSCs. ( d)–(g ) Section of the sponge cultured for 28 days after seeding hiPSCs. Blue fluorescence indicates the nuclei and green fluorescence indicates COL1A1 expression. ( d ), ( e ) Cells stained only with DAPI without staining for COL1A1. ( e ) An enlarged image of a part of ( d ). Both ( d ) and ( e ) show the presence of nuclei at the edges and inside the sponge. ( f ), ( g ) Cells with additional staining for COL1A1. ( g ) An enlarged image of a region from ( f ). COL1A1-positive areas can be observed at the edges and inside the sponge. COL1A1, type I collagen alpha 1; hiPSC, human induced pluripotent stem cell.

Article Snippet: These sections were incubated with a primary antibody against type I collagen alpha 1 (COL1A1; diluted 1:100; 322-COLTt, PhosphoSolutions, Denver, CO, USA) at 37 °C in a humid chamber for 1 h. Subsequently, the sections were incubated at 25 °C for 1 h with the secondary antibody Donkey Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488; diluted 1:1000; Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Article Title: Effects of neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine-based chemotherapy on cancer cell survival and death in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Overall survival after resection and neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine-based chemotherapy in patients presenting with borderline or non-resectable pancreatic cancer. The median (95% confidence interval) survival was 31.6 (24.5–44.5) months after FOLFIRINOX ( n = 11) versus 15.8 (2.0–20.5) months after gemcitabine-based therapy ( n = 13) ( p = 0.039). ( B ) Representative H&E stained tissues (top), and IF (bottom) for DAPI (blue) and CK-7 + tumor cells (red), as well as representative FACS-like co-expression scattergrams and quantitation of CK-7 + cells per area in mm 2 are blotted as mean with 95% CI as shown in . ( C ) Representative trichrome stained tissues for collagen-1, as well as representative FACS-like co-expression scattergrams and quantitation of collagen-1 expression per area mm 2 are blotted as mean with 95% CI as shown in . ( D ) Representative IF stained tissues for collagen-1 (green), DAPI (blue) and CK-7 + tumor cells (red), as well as representative FACS-like co-expression scattergrams and quantitation of collagen-1 expression per area mm 2 are blotted as mean with 95% CI as shown in . ( E ) Representative IF stained tissues for αSMA (green), DAPI (blue) and CK-7 + tumor cells (red), as well as representative FACS-like co-expression scattergrams and quantitation of αSMA and are blotted as mean with 95% CI as shown in . ( F ) The mean (95% CI) activated stromal index (ratio of αSMA to collagen-1) by group. Human tissue scale bar = 20 μm, 20× objective. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001.
