An outline of one of the researchers’ approaches to understanding the properties of human laryngeal tumours. Here, patient tumour samples were classified into different groups and stained multiple times for different combinations of proteins (mpIHC). Green: YAP, stains the cancer cells; Blue: DAPI, stains the nuclei; Red: collagen (coll), shows the connective tissue (ECM) surrounding the cancer cells. The researchers found that more invasive tumours had higher levels of YAP and a stiffer connective tissue (ECM).
