Living brain tissue can now be made transparent, helping scientists see deeper neurons while keeping cells active.

In conventional pathology and physiology research, two-dimensional (2D) analysis—observing thinly sliced tissue sections—has ...

Making a living brain transparent and watching its neurons fire without disturbing their function—sounds like science fiction, doesn't it? Yet the solution may already exist within our own bodies. In ...

Researchers led by Hiroki R. Ueda at the University of Tokyo developed comprehensive 3D cellular atlases spanning all organs ...

Seeing what's going on inside a body is never easy. While technologies like CT scans, X-rays, MRIs, and microscopy can provide insights, the images are rarely completely clear and can come with side ...

Optical clearing, whereby biological tissues are rendered transparent to visible light, is a valuable route to imaging of cells and organs in their complete environment. Multiple variations of ...

In this study, scientists developed a gentle optical clearing solution that allows fluorescence imaging of live mammalian tissues without harming them. Scientists unveiled SeeDB-Live, a new reagent ...
