We usually assume that tissue folding (the process that creates organs, embryos, and the deep ridges of the human brain) ...
A fossilized larva dating back over half a billion years has been discovered with its brain, digestive system, and nerve structures remarkably preserved. The tiny creature, an early arthropod ancestor ...
Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...
Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...
Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...
A simple light-based method is uncovering hidden fiber networks inside the brain and body, even in tissue slides over 100 years old.
