Studying microenvironments involves various techniques:
- Histological Analysis: Traditional techniques like H&E staining and immunohistochemistry allow visualization of tissue architecture and specific proteins within tissues. - In Vivo Models: Animal models mimic human disease conditions and provide insights into the role of microenvironments in disease. - In Vitro Models: Cell culture systems, including 3D culture and organ-on-a-chip technologies, can recreate aspects of the microenvironment for detailed studies.
