Conclusion

Trascrizione

This protocol allows for the investigation of the fine morphology of retinal neurons and can give insight into the cellular and subcellular morphological changes that occur in disease states. This method significantly improves the optical transpar

Riepilogo

Here we present a protocol to adapt the CLARITY method of the brain tissues for whole-mount retinas to improve the quality of standard immunohistochemical staining and high-resolution imaging of retinal neurons and their subcellular structures.
