Transparent human organ models: mapping the future of bioprinted organs

Researchers from Germany have reportedly developed transparent models of human organs in a step towards mapping cellular structures for the development of bioprinting strategies. In a step towards mapping cellular structures in the development of bioprinting strategies, a collaborative team of researchers has announced the production, analysis and cellular mapping of transparent, human organ models. The team, comprised of researchers from Helmholtz Zentrum München, Ludwig Maximilians University Munich and the Technical University of Munich (all Munich, Germany), described their analysis using 'Small-micelle-mediated Human orgAN Efficient clearing and Labeling' (SHANEL) technology in Cell. Understanding and 'deciphering' the structural complexity of human...
