Researchers have discovered a way to turn mice skin transparent without causing physical harm, enabling organ and internal observation.

Once again we are reminded that there are scientists out there working on things that the average person would have never even thought of doing, such as

It’s a strange occurrence, seeing a mouse’s skin turn transparent as you rub food dye on it. The researchers say it gives you a complete look into the mouse’s body, showing the blood vessels, organs, and everything else inside.

A common food dye can turn the skin of living mice transparent, but we don't yet know if it'll work in humans.

New research harnessed the highly absorbent dye tartrazine, used as the common food coloring Yellow No. 5, to turn tissues in living mice clear—temporarily revealing organs and vessels inside the anim

Scientists have discovered that a common food dye, tartrazine, can make skin temporarily transparent, revealing the organs and blood vessels beneath.

It seems like a kind of superpower, but scientists say they've used a common food dye to render the skin of a mouse transparent, revealing the workings of blood vessels and organs underneath. It's not yet clear if the procedure could work on human skin,

Researchers have found that common food dye can be used to make skin, muscle and connective tissues temporarily transparent, suggesting that the procedure could be used in future to locate cancer cells in the human body,
