Where Stem Cells Reside
February 1, 2022 | Terry Sharrer
To map blood vessels and stem cells in the brain [mouse], Johns Hopkins researchers “used immunofluorescent stains to label specific cell types and blood vessels with identifying tags. They then used a chemical that reduces the opacity of tissue, allowing light to penetrate through. The researchers describe the cleared tissue as resembling glass. Finally, they used a lightsheet microscope to obtain high-resolution images of the skull area, without bleaching out the fluorescent signals from the immunostains.” MORE WITH VIDEO
