Making organs transparent to improve nanomedicine

Treating a disease without causing side effects is one of the big promises of nanoparticle technology. But fulfilling it remains a challenge. One of the obstacles is that researchers have a hard time seeing where nanoparticles go once they're inside various parts of the body. But now one team has developed a way to help overcome this problem—by making tissues and organs clearer in the lab. Their study on mice appears in the journal ACS Nano.
