See-through organs and bodies will accelerate biomedical discoveries.

The ability to see through organs and even the entire body to visualize long-range connections between cells as well as fine-grained cellular structures has been a long-time dream of biologists. A study published in the journal Cell has now made that dream a reality, revealing simple methods for making opaque organs, bodies, and human tissue biopsies transparent, while keeping the cellular structures and connections intact. … Continue reading See-through organs and bodies will accelerate biomedical discoveries.
