Collagen staining with fast green FCF enables 3D imaging of pulmonary fibrosis
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…
