CLARITY - Clear, Lipid-exchanged, Anatomically Rigid, Imaging/immunostaining compatible, Tissue hYdrogel

Another one that popped up in a journal Table of Contents (this time Science), CLARITY is the spectacularly contrived Clear, Lipid-exchanged, Anatomically Rigid, Imaging/immunostaining compatible, Tissue hYdrogel. As an acronym, it falls down at the end, so this one is being classed as an “intranym” but as CLARITY is a brain-imaging technique, I think it deserves pre hoc status. CLARITY was runner-up for Science journal’s Breakthrough of the Year.
