What are the Applications of Knockout and Knockdown Experiments in Histology?
These techniques have a wide range of applications in histology:
Disease Models: Creating knockout or knockdown models of genes associated with diseases helps in understanding the pathogenesis at the tissue level. Developmental Biology: Studying the role of specific genes in tissue development and differentiation. Cancer Research: Identifying the role of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in tumor formation and progression. Regenerative Medicine: Understanding the genes involved in tissue repair and regeneration.
