  "summary": "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…",
