Fluorescent Lectins for Local in Vivo Visualization of Peripheral Nerves

Fluorescent Lectins for Local in Vivo Visualization of Peripheral Nerves

Damage to peripheral nerves caused during a surgical intervention often results in function loss. Fluorescence imaging has the potential to improve intraoperative identification and preservation of these structures. However, only very few nerve targeting agents are available. This study describes th...
