Histologists employ various techniques to study cellular attachment:
Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific adhesion molecules in tissue sections, providing insights into their distribution and function. Electron Microscopy: Electron microscopy offers high-resolution images of cell junctions and attachment sites, revealing detailed structural information. Cell Culture: In vitro studies using cell cultures help researchers understand the molecular mechanisms of attachment and the effects of different conditions on cell adhesion.
