Whole-body nervous & immune architecture in 3D
Whole-body reconstructions of normal (left) and obese (right) UCHL1-EGFP mice. Peripheral nerves (UCHL1-EGFP+) are shown in green, bones and organs are shown in red (propidium iodide labeled) and muscle (autofluorescence) is shown in blue.
Foundation-model deep learning segments and quantifies whole-body nervous and immune systems in cleared mice — revealing systemic remodeling in obesity and disease.
