Transfer of the paraffin-embedded tumour sections for smoothing to a 37°C bath

After the microtome sectioning of murine fibrosarcoma induced subcutaneously in mice, the paraffin-embedded tumour sections were transferred for smoothing to a 37°C bath. They were then deposited on glass slides. The fibrosarcoma models spontaneously generated HEV blood vessels (high endothelium veinules) 8 days after induction in the mouse. Researchers were seeking to detect the presence of specific RNA for these blood vessels on the glass slides. They thus co-marked this RNA using specific proteins for these vessels.

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
