How does Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) aid in histological studies?
Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) is a technique that uses a laser to precisely isolate specific cells or areas of tissue for further analysis. Its benefits include:
Targeted Analysis - Enables the study of specific cells or regions, enhancing the precision of molecular analyses. Preserves Tissue Integrity - Minimizes contamination and preserves the integrity of the sample. Applications in Cancer Research - Widely used to isolate tumor cells for genetic and proteomic studies.
