Ki-67 immunohistochemical analysis of the EVPOME received metabolic challenges compared with the standard protocol. Representative images of Ki-67 immunohistochemistry of the EVPOMEs. Ki-67-positive cells are mainly present in the basal layer. The number of Ki-67 positive cells was remarkably fewer when cells received metabolic challenges before development of the EVPOMEs. (A) Standard protocol, (B) metabolic challenge of 5×PBS, (C) metabolic challenge of 20×PBS, (D) metabolic challenge of 4dNoF, (E) metabolic challenge of 7dNoF. Original magnification × 40. Scale bar = 100 μm.
