What are the Applications of Cell Fractionation in Histology?
Cell fractionation has numerous applications in histology and related fields:
Organelle Isolation: Researchers can isolate specific organelles like mitochondria, nuclei, and lysosomes to study their structure and function in detail. Protein Analysis: Isolated cell fractions can be used to identify and study proteins specific to certain organelles or cellular processes. Metabolic Studies: By isolating enzymes and other metabolic components, researchers can study metabolic pathways and their regulation within the cell.
