STANFORD, Calif., June 1, 2011 — An improved imaging method using fluorescent carbon nanotubes allows researchers to see centimeters deep into a mouse with far more clarity than conventional dyes provide. For a creature the size of a mouse, a few centimeters makes a great difference. Developing drugs to combat or cure human disease often involves a phase of testing with mice, so being able to peer clearly into a living mouse’s innards has real value. With the fluorescent dyes currently used to image the interior of laboratory mice, however, the view becomes very murky several millimeters under the skin. ...Read full article
