Descrizione
Post-radiation IGF-1 treatment significantly enhances sphere-forming efficiency of irradiated parotid cells, suggesting growth factor administration as a strategy to restore salivary function.

Figure 2
Sphere-forming efficiency of parotid-derived cells decreases significantly following a single 5 Gy radiation dose, quantified at day 30 post-irradiation.

Figure 3
Proliferation rates of salisphere cultures from untreated and irradiated parotid glands are compared under serum-free conditions, showing similar growth kinetics despite radiation damage.

Figure 4
Fetal bovine serum supplementation increases the sphere-forming efficiency of irradiated parotid-derived cells, as shown by representative bright-field microscopy images and quantification.

Figure 5
Proliferation assays confirm comparable growth rates between untreated and irradiated salisphere cultures supplemented with FBS, indicating that reduced sphere formation is not due to proliferation deficits.

Figure 6
Expression of salivary stem and progenitor cell markers in salisphere cultures demonstrates that both untreated and irradiated cells maintain their progenitor phenotype.
