What Are Some Examples of Therapies Developed Through Histological Analysis?
Several therapies have been developed or optimized through histological analysis:
Targeted Cancer Therapies: By identifying specific molecular markers in tumor tissues, histology has guided the development of targeted therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies and kinase inhibitors, that selectively attack cancer cells. Regenerative Medicine: Histological techniques are used to assess the quality and integration of engineered tissues and stem cell therapies, facilitating the development of treatments for tissue repair and regeneration. Immunotherapies: Histological analysis of immune cell infiltration and tumor microenvironments has informed the design of immunotherapies, such as checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapies, that enhance the body's immune response against cancers.
