Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative haematoxylin–eosin (HE)-stained sections of SV-HUC-1 and T24 spheroids prepared by cryosectioning ( A-F ) and paraffin embedding (G-L) . A necrotic core (indicated by asterisks, A-B , D-E , G-H , J-K ) is visible in most cross sections, except those obtained from peripheral regions. Scale bars: 500 µm (A, D, G, J), 100 µm (B, E, H, K), 50 µm (C, F, I, L).
Article Snippet: Normal human urothelial SV-HUC-1 cells (CRL-9520) and muscle-invasive human bladder cancer urothelial T24 cells (HTB-4) were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, United States) and cultured in a 1:1 mixture of A-DMEM medium (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States) and F12 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, United States), supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, United States) and 4 mM GlutaMAX (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States).
