Leaders in next-generation 3D histology and AI-powered quantification for intact biological samples

Kit user highlight! The sample shown in the attached video was generated by Jenna McCloskey at The Ohio State University using a Translucence Biosystems Universal Tissue Clearing Kit. This video shows ΔFosB-positive cells across an intact rat brain hemisphere.

cFos has been used for decades to map neuronal activity, however its expression is not a direct readout of neuronal activity, as cFos expression can be induced by broader signaling pathways, including cAMP-dependent pathways, neurotrophins, and other paracrine factors.

Today, we are presenting two posters at AD/PD™ 2026. Poster #3404 examines whole-brain measurement of plaques, microglia, α-synuclein, and tyrosine hydroxylase in AD and PD model mice using tissue clearing, light sheet imaging, and AI-powered quantification.

Your first look at our newest tissue clearing technology, TB.Clear™!   Tissue clearing has transformed how we study intact biological systems, but many solvent-based methods (including widely used protocols like iDISCO+) can quench endogenous fluorescence.
