Histologists use various techniques to study cell signaling, including:
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Detects specific proteins in tissue sections using antibodies. - In Situ Hybridization (ISH): Identifies specific mRNA molecules in tissues, indicating gene expression. - Fluorescence Microscopy: Visualizes signaling molecules tagged with fluorescent markers. - Western Blotting: Analyzes protein expression and post-translational modifications.
