E-cadherin expression detected by immunocytochemistry in day 8 fetal lung, liver, stomach and intestinal spheroids. a, c, d In FOSs derived from lung, stomach and intestine (n = 7 for all), E-cadherin expression was mostly detected in the membranes of the outer cells of the spheroids. b In liver FOSs (n = 7), E-cadherin expression was detected in junctions between the cells throughout the spheroids (indicated by arrowheads). The asterisk indicates the presence of endogenous auto-fluorescence that is most likely due to lipofuscin accumulation. The right panels indicate a magnified view of the area highlighted by white dotted boxes in the middle panels. a-d DAPI indicates nuclei. Scale bars: 100 μm
