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).

A MODEL FOR LIFE
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.

RESEARCH REPORT
Sex matters in preclinical research
DMM calls for improved inclusion, analysis and reporting of sex as a biological variable in preclinical animal modelling research. Read the full Editorial by Monica J. Justice.
Subject collection: Building advocacy into research
DMM’s new series - Building advocacy into research - features interviews, ‘The Patient’s Voice’, with patients and advocates for a range of disease types, with the aim of supporting the highest quality research for the benefit of all patients affected by disease.
Travelling Fellowships for early-career researchers
DMM and its sister journals offer Travelling Fellowships of up to £3,000 to graduate students and post-doctoral researchers wishing to make collaborative visits to other laboratories. Find out more about our Travelling Fellowships and read stories from previous grant recipients.
Read & Publish Open Access publishing: what authors say
We have had great feedback from authors who have benefitted from our Read & Publish agreement with their institution and have been able to publish Open Access with us without paying an APC. Read what they had to say.
The Forest of Biologists
Our Publisher Claire Moulton recently visited the two Woodland Trust UK sites where we are planting new native trees for published Research and Review papers and protecting ancient woodland on behalf of our peer reviewers.
