A novel imaging platform called the Cleaveable Light-Erased Antibody Reporter (CLEAR), developed by researchers from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bengaluru (JNCASR), an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), can help see an unprecedented number of proteins within a single biological sample using just one fluorescent marker.

This could open new possibilities for high-resolution, multiplex imaging in cells and tissues, which could prove important for diagnostics and biological research.

Proteins are the primary controllers of biological functions and are key targets of therapeutic activity as well as important indicators for the diag...
