Breast cancer. 3D transparent tumour tomography image of a breast cancer specimen, showing details of the vascular network (blood vessels) and the microenvironment surrounding the malignant tumour. This environment plays a crucial role in helping cancers to grow and evade destruction. This is a HER2-positive breast cancer (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2). Smooth muscle cells (red), endothelial cells (cyan), and fibroblast (green) in a whole xenografted TUBO (BALB-neuT clone) tumour. TUBO is a cell line, and BALB-neuT is a transgenic strain.
