What are the Applications of Transfection in Histology?
Transfection has numerous applications in histology:
- Gene Function Studies: Understanding the role of specific genes in cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. - Protein Expression: Studying the localization and function of proteins within tissues. - Disease Modeling: Creating cellular models of diseases to study their pathogenesis and screen for potential treatments. - Gene Therapy: Developing techniques to correct genetic defects in cells and tissues.
