what are we trying to achieve with making skin transparent? I dont see a use case. anyone want to help me with it? please tell me more about it.



I can think of a use case. The same one we have for modified transparent Zebra Fish in medical research.

That is so that you can observe features such as the circulatory system.

In addition to the medical usecases listed in the other comments, it's also just pretty cool.


Knee hurts, doctor can have a look and literally see what's wrong.


Diagnosing some internal illnesses without xray or MRI.


xray can only pick up information up to a level.

an extra tool(window to our inner bits) without the necessity of making a biopsy is always welcome.
