Microtome section of murine fibrosarcomas induced subcutaneously in mice

Microtome section of murine fibrosarcomas induced subcutaneously in mice. These paraffin-embedded tumour tissues were placed 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.

CNRS Images,

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.
