How are Targets Identified in Histological Studies?
Targets are identified through various histological techniques such as immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and electron microscopy. These techniques allow for the visualization and quantification of specific proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules within tissues. By comparing diseased tissues to normal tissues, researchers can pinpoint molecules that are differentially expressed or structurally altered, making them potential targets for therapy.
