3D RNA Imaging Transforms Brain Study Techniques

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed TRISCO, a novel microscopy method enabling 3D RNA analysis in whole, intact mouse brains, without slicing. This technique allows for the simultaneous analysis of up to 100 RNA molecules, offering new insights into brain structure and function, and potentially revolutionizing the study of neurological disorders. TRISCO's applicability extends to larger brains and other tissues, promising advancements in understanding and treating brain diseases.
