Mauna Kea Technologies today announced the publication of an investigator-sponsored study that utilized Cellvizio to identify an up-to-now unknown human structure of an “interstitium” that had never been identified using standard histological techniques.
The article, entitled “Structure and Distribution of an Unrecognized Interstitium in Human Tissues,” was published in Scientific Reports (2018, 8:4947 DOI:10.1038/s41598-018-23062-6) and can be downloaded here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-23062-6.
“Cellvizio is the only probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy system available to physicians for clinical use and scientists for research,” said Sacha Loiseau, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Mauna Kea Technologies.
