Using this technique can help doctors diagnose tumors without resorting to surgery.
Researchers have discovered that common food coloring can temporarily make skin, muscle and other animal tissue transparent, allowing internal organs to be seen without invasive procedures. The Guardian reported this.
This method has not been tested in humans. During the experiment, dye was applied to the skin of a mouse, after which it was possible to see its internal organs, such as the liver, intestine and bladder. After washing off the dye, the mouse’s skin returned to its normal state.
Scientists believe this approach could help diagnose tumors and simplify medical procedures such as blood sampling. The study used tartrazine, a common food coloring that allows light to pass through fabrics, making them transparent. Although the technique has not yet been tested on humans, it opens up new possibilities for medicine and scientific research.
It was previously reported that German researchers found out how a small translucent fish, 12 mm long, is capable of making such a loud sound.
