What Are the Applications of Engineered Tissues in Histology?
Engineered tissues have several applications in histology:
1. Disease Modeling: By replicating diseased tissues, researchers can study the progression and pathology of diseases such as cancer and fibrosis in a controlled environment.
2. Drug Screening: Engineered tissues provide a reliable platform for testing the efficacy and toxicity of new drugs, leading to better therapeutic outcomes and reduced reliance on animal models.
3. Regenerative Medicine: Histology is essential in evaluating the integration and functionality of regenerative therapies, such as stem cell-derived tissues and bioengineered organs.
