“…1 Key achievements in the development of nerve-labeling fluorescent agents. This timeline includes the significant biomedical tracing with HRP, 68 neuron tracing with virus, 39 neuron tracing with WGA, 74 neuron tracing with CTB; 52 neuron tracing with BDA, 63 neuron imaging with anti-Agrin, 94 neuron tracing with ICG in optical nerve, 124 neuron imaging with BMB, 98 neuron imaging with Coumarin, 111 neuron imaging with GE3082, 104 neuron imaging with Cy5-NP41, 118 neuron imaging with oxazine4, 107 neuron imaging with Hsp1a, 123 neuron imaging with myelin protein 0, 113 neuron imaging with LGW01-08, 108 neuron imaging with AIEgens; 114 mainly including viruses, bacterial toxins, phytoagglutinins, and phytoenzymes. Local injection administration is frequently employed for delivering these tracers as they exhibit limited ability to traverse the blood-nerve barrier (BBB) but can be readily absorbed by nerve endings in the mammalian muscle and subsequently conveyed through the axons within the nerve.…”
