The global tissue clearing market size is expected to reach USD 206.6 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.., exhibiting a CAGR of 9.24% from 2023 to 2030. The growing investments in research and development within the fields of neuroscience and cancer research is anticipated to attribute in the growth of the market. Moreover, the growing advancements in the biotechnology industry in developing countries is further driving the growth of the market over the forecast period.
The growing investments in studying tissues which include the brain tissues in 3D have spurred the expansion of 3D histology. This approach involves reconstructing tissue samples in 3D, enabling the study of tissue structure. It also enables the simultaneous analysis of cellular shape in a true 3D context along with precise omics data at a microscopic level. Tissue-clearing methods enhance tissue transparency by adjusting the refractive index. This aids 3D histology, enabling a detailed molecular-level understanding of tissue morphology and pathology. Tissues are normally opaque, hindering microscopy, but optical clearing agents make them transparent by reducing scattering.
In addition, iDISCO, based on classic histology, translates staining from sections to whole tissues. It reveals multiple apoptotic neurons in sensory ganglia, aiding neuron studies. It detects split Caspase-3 in developing axons and images degenerating axons in adult brains effectively. iDISCO also supports volume imaging of labeled structures in complex tissues. It has two variants; the first uses conventional methanol dehydration but may quench labeled fluorescent proteins. The increasing adoption of technological advancements in tissue-clearing techniques are anticipated to impel the market growth over the forecast period.
However, stringent animal welfare laws, like the UK's Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, streamline lab research with animals. This law demands a thorough evaluation of projects involving animals, including procedure specifics and animal types. Moreover, global initiatives like AAALAC accreditation and ethical review boards reinforce animal welfare. Thus, stringent guidelines pertaining to medical research with animals are anticipated to constrain the growth of the market.
