Startling news comes from Japanese biologists. In the land of the Rising Sun happened to bring laboratory mice whose skin is completely transparent. The internal organs of these animals are visible from the outside.

The study was held by the joint efforts of scientists from research University RIKEN, Tokyo Institute and the Japanese Agency of science and technology. The main idea was to eliminate from the body of mice gems - group of compounds, which give a blood red color, and in addition remain in most tissues.

Blood from mice was replaced with a specialized solution, and the body further used reagent, eliminating gems. The skin of the mice actually became transparent so that you can view the internal organs. However, while that used their method led to the death of rodents, which put the experience.

"We were extremely surprised by the fact that the body of the mouse can be fully transparent, " said an official statement of scientific workers TASS. This study, now will be much
it is easier to explore the anatomy of animals and the development of some diseases. Previously, biologists could only explore each organ separately, but now it will be possible a comprehensive study of the structures of the body in almost pristine shape.

Scientists do not yet know how to create a similar method of "bleaching", which allows to save the life of the subject, but it is very possible that it will soon be possible.
