Tubular structure formation in primary cultures derived from ovarian cancer patient ascites. (a) examples of tubular structure formation in primary cultures derived from ovarian cancer patients ascites at day 7 (a–c). For comparison, three cultures that did not demonstrate VM formation are shown (d–f) Magnification: 4×. Scale bar: 200 μm. (b) LYD microinjection into a tubular structure formed in 3D-culture primary culture on matrigel. The arrowhead indicates microinjection into an individual cell, demonstrating no dye movement. Magnification: 10×. Scale bar: 100 μm.
