Pancreatic tumors grown in the absence of host-derived SPARC display reduced hypoxia relative to controls. Mice bearing orthotopic pancreatic PAN02 tumors were injected intravenously with a hypoxia marker (Hypoxyprobe-1). Hypoxia within tumors was visualized using an antibody, FITC-conjugated mouse anti-pimonidazole, directed against an adduct that forms when Hypoxyprobe-1 enters hypoxic tissue. The image displays hypoxia (green) near the vasculature (red) stained with a rat anti-mouse endothelial cell antibody (Meca-32). Nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue).

The accidental biologist: an interview with Jim Smith
Jim Smith has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of early embryonic development. Here, in conversation with DMM Consulting Editor Kathy Weston, he discusses his stutter, how he became interested in developmental biology, and his role in helping establish what will be the UK’s biggest multidisciplinary research laboratory, the UK Centre for Medical Research and Innovation (UKCMRI).
FEATURE
Primates as a model for research
Despite the political, ethical and financial complexities, there are some human diseases that researchers feel can only be understood by working with non-human primates. Nicole Garbarini investigates.
