In histological studies, adherens junctions can be examined using various techniques, including:
Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies specific to cadherins and catenins to visualize adherens junctions in tissue sections. Electron Microscopy:Electron microscopy provides high-resolution images that can reveal the ultrastructural details of adherens junctions. Fluorescence Microscopy: Fluorescently labeled antibodies or proteins can be used to study the localization and dynamics of adherens junctions in live cells and tissues.
