What are the Applications of Liposomes in Histology?
The applications of liposomes in histology are diverse:
- Immunohistochemistry: Liposomes can be functionalized with antibodies, enabling specific binding to target antigens in tissue samples. This enhances the precision of immunohistochemical staining. - Drug Delivery Systems: In tissue engineering, liposomes are used to deliver growth factors and other bioactive molecules to promote tissue regeneration and repair. - Diagnostic Tools: Encapsulating diagnostic agents within liposomes can improve the sensitivity and specificity of various diagnostic assays, such as ELISA.
