MFA has numerous applications in histology, including:
Cancer Research: Identifying metabolic alterations in tumor cells compared to normal cells, which can reveal potential therapeutic targets. Drug Development: Assessing how drugs affect metabolic pathways in specific tissues, leading to the optimization of drug efficacy and safety. Nutritional Studies: Understanding how different diets affect tissue metabolism, which can inform nutritional recommendations and interventions. Disease Mechanisms: Investigating how metabolic dysregulation contributes to diseases such as diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases.
