From: Phenformin as prophylaxis and therapy in breast cancer xenografts
Connective tissue histological analysis of MCF7 and MDAMB231 xenografts treated with phenformin using Van Gieson stain. MCF7 tumours treated with phenformin showed substantial increase of connective tissue, demonstrated as red/pink staining, which replaces epithelial tumour cells (A and B). No differences were observed in MDAMB231 tumours (C and D), × 5 magnified image captured with an Aperio ScanScope XT, Aperio Technologies, Vista, CA, USA.
