简介：
Overview
This study investigates the combination of the iterative-bleaching-extends-multiplexity (IBEX) and Click-iT EdU labeling to detect and categorize dividing cell types in highly dynamic processes, particularly in murine skin repair. The developed open-source image processing pipeline facilitates high-throughput image acquisition and analysis.
