Abstract:

James Raleigh, a professor of radiation oncology and toxicology, invented the hypoxia marker to detect cells lacking oxygen. Hypoxia is indicated by special antibodies that Raleigh developed, which appears green in a photomicrograph. Raleigh and other researchers are learning that hypoxia plays a role in many diseases and processes in the body other than cancer.
