This image shows a section through a mouse liver in which human colorectal cancer-derived organoids (orthotopically-transplanted in the mouse colon) have spread. This liver metastasis shows the invading tumor front (keratin-20, brown tumor cell) – growing from the top of the images towards the bottom – embedded in increasing surrounding connective tissue (fibronectin, green fibers). All nuclei of human tumor cells and the mouse hepatocytes in the lower part of the image were stained with a nuclear membrane marker (lamin A, red round shapes). Slight green staining in the lower part of the image shows connective tissue that surrounds blood vessels in normal liver tissue.
