Micro Glia — This fabulous image from Marc Haniford of the Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute shows phagocytic Iba1⁺ microglia interacting with a GFAP⁺ astrocyte following AZD1390 treatment and irradiation.

Coming from Sarah Spear, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, this image really impressed our judges. It shows colon epithelial cells (red) and mucus producing goblet cells (green) damaged by colitis. The regeneration that occurs is in blue. This stain is used to identify treatments that help reduce colitis damage.
