Scientists Turn Bones Transparent To Let Them See Into Marrow

Now you see it, now you don’t: Scientists have used a chemical technique to make mouse bones turn transparent. The technique has been used in the past to make brains and kidneys see-through, but this marks the first time it’s been used in hard tissues.

The ability to see within a bone could have implications for research into bone diseases, by letting researchers get a more accurate picture of bone’s internal structure.
