How is Fluorescent Multiplexing Applied in Research and Diagnostics?
Fluorescent multiplexing is widely applied in both research and diagnostic settings:
Cancer research: It is used to identify and study multiple biomarkers within tumor tissues, aiding in the understanding of tumor heterogeneity and the identification of therapeutic targets. Neuroscience: It helps in mapping neural circuits by visualizing different neuronal populations and their interactions. Infectious diseases: It is used to study the distribution and interaction of pathogens and host cells within infected tissues. Clinical diagnostics: Multiplexing can enhance the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests by allowing for the simultaneous detection of multiple disease markers.
