Show abstract
Current approaches for imaging fibrotic remodeling have sensitivity, specificity and cost drawbacks that limit both preclinical research and clinical diagnosis. Here, we show that fast green FCF, a small molecule that binds to fibrillar collagen, enables highly sensitive and specific imaging of fibrosis in lung samples from mice and humans using fluorescence microscopy. We report strategies for using fast green FCF staining to assess fibrotic remodeling using precision-cut lung slice and whole-biopsy preparations. Our findings demonstrate that fluorescence imaging of fast green FCF-stained collagen will be useful for fibrosis research and may help to improve detection of fibrosis in clinical pathology.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
