Japanese Create Transluscent Frog

Japanese researchers have succeeded in creating see-through frogs. They have created these frogs to observe blood vessels and eggs, organs, underneath the skin so that people do not have to perform dissections.

“You can see through the skin how organs grow, how cancer starts and develops,” said the lead researcher Masayuki Sumida, professor at the Institute for Amphibian Biology of state-run Hiroshima University.

“You can watch organs of the same frog over its entire life as you don’t have to dissect it. The researcher can also observe how toxins affect bones, livers and other organs at lower costs,” he told AFP.


This is just absolutely amazing! What will they come out with next? Is it just me or does it seem sort of scary in a way? This is just awesome though, it is hard to believe that this frog is actually living. Such an incredible creation.
