Abstract
In various embodiments, the present application teaches methods and compositions for tissue clearing in which whole organs and bodies are rendered macromolecule-permeable and optically-transparent, thereby exposing their cellular structure with intact connectivity. In some embodiments, the present application teaches PACT, a protocol for passive tissue clearing and immunostaining of intact organs. In other embodiments, the present application teaches RIMS, a refractive index matching media for imaging thick tissue. In yet other embodiments, the application teaches PARS, a method for whole-body clearing and immunolabeling.
