Histologists use various techniques to study plasticity, including:
Microscopy: Advanced imaging techniques like confocal and electron microscopy help visualize cellular changes at high resolution. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins, helping identify changes in cell type and function. In Situ Hybridization: This method detects specific nucleic acid sequences, revealing changes in gene expression linked to plasticity. Live-cell Imaging: Time-lapse microscopy allows real-time observation of cellular dynamics and transformations.
