A Common Food Dye Can Turn Skin, Muscle and Other Body Tissues Temporarily Transparent
Researchers at Stanford University have stumbled upon a method of making biological tissue, such as skin, muscle and connective tissue, temporarily transparent, allowing the underlying organs to be viewed without the need for x-ray imaging or surgical procedures. The technique could not only one day allow for medical imaging that
