Application of Zwitterionic Polymer Hydrogels to Optical Tissue Clearing for 3D Fluorescence Imaging

Caption

This picture shows the optical clearing process of a brain tissue to visualize the 3D vascular network in fluorescence imaging. Zwitterionic polymer hydrogels including polymer hydrogels that mimic fatty molecules on the tissue promoted the optical tissue clearing process by discharging fats.
