Histology, the study of tissues at the microscopic level, is integral to many of the research projects at MPI-CBG. Advanced histological techniques are employed to analyze the structure and function of cells and tissues. This includes the use of:
- Immunohistochemistry for detecting specific proteins within tissues - In situ hybridization for localizing specific DNA or RNA sequences - Electron microscopy for high-resolution imaging of cellular structures - Confocal microscopy for detailed 3D reconstruction of tissues
These techniques enable researchers to gain insights into cellular organization, tissue architecture, and the dynamic processes that govern development and disease.
