Little information about spinal LVs is available, because these delicate structures are embedded within vertebral tissues and difficult to visualize using traditional histology. Here we show an extended vertebral column LV network using three-dimensional imaging of decalcified iDISCO<sup>+</sup>-clarified spine segments. Vertebral LVs connect to peripheral se ...[more]
