RNA ISH has a wide range of applications in histology and molecular biology, including:
- Gene Expression Analysis: Determining the spatial and temporal expression patterns of genes in tissues. - Developmental Biology: Studying the role of specific genes during embryonic development. - Cancer Research: Identifying gene expression changes associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis. - Neuroscience: Mapping the distribution of neurotransmitter receptors and other neuronal markers. - Infectious Diseases: Detecting viral or bacterial RNA within infected tissues.
