What are the Applications of Transcriptomics in Histology?
The applications of transcriptomics in histology are vast and impactful. Some key applications include:
Cancer Research: Identifying gene expression profiles associated with different types of cancers and understanding the molecular basis of tumorigenesis. Developmental Biology: Studying gene expression changes during tissue and organ development to understand the genetic programs that drive development. Pathology: Enhancing the understanding of disease pathology by correlating histological features with gene expression patterns, leading to better diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. Personalized Medicine: Using gene expression data to tailor treatments based on an individual's specific genetic makeup and disease state.
