Transgenic research has significant applications in understanding and treating diseases. By creating transgenic models of human diseases, scientists can study the pathological changes in tissues and test potential treatments. For example:
Cancer Research: Transgenic mice are often used to study cancer progression and metastasis. Histological analysis helps in identifying the cellular and molecular changes in tumors. Neurodegenerative Diseases: Transgenic models of diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are used to study brain tissue changes. Histology allows scientists to observe neuron degeneration and protein accumulation. Cardiovascular Diseases: Transgenic animals are used to study heart diseases. Histological examination of heart tissues can reveal changes in muscle structure and function.
