Large Bio Samples Made Transparent by New Tissue-Clearing Method - Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

Scientists started developing tissue-clearing methods about 15 years ago, mainly for tracing whole-brain nerve connections. A Scripps Research team has devised a novel technique that uses a sequential combination of organic solvents and water-based detergents…

Scientists at Scripps Research report that they have unveiled a new tissue-clearing method for rendering large biological samples transparent. The method makes it much easier for scientists to visual… [+4438 chars]
