Cleared tissue techniques

Cleared tissue techniques are methods used by scientists to make biological tissues, like brain or organs, transparent. This process involves removing fats and pigments that block light, allowing scientists to see inside tissues without cutting them into thin sections. By doing so, they can study the complex structures and connections within the tissue in three dimensions using advanced imaging methods like microscopes. This technique is valuable for research in medicine and biology, helping us understand how organs work, develop treatments, or investigate diseases in a detailed, comprehensive way.
