Abstract
fluorescence imaging. Moreover, TBI could efficiently light up the LD distribution in mouse atherosclerotic plaques with high resolution, which revealed the ultra-structure of atherosclerotic plaques. In conclusion, these results imply that TBI could be a potential tool for investigating the physiological and pathological role of LDs.
