Histological techniques to study BMP signaling include:
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Used to detect BMP proteins and their receptors in tissue sections. - In Situ Hybridization (ISH): Allows for the localization of BMP mRNA within tissues. - Western Blotting: Used to analyze the expression and activation of BMP pathway components. - Histological Staining: Techniques like Alizarin Red and Alcian Blue staining help visualize bone and cartilage formation influenced by BMP signaling.
