What are the Challenges in Studying Functional State?
Studying the functional state of tissues presents several challenges:
Tissue Preservation: Maintaining the functional state during sample collection and preparation can be difficult. Artifact Formation: Artifacts introduced during processing can obscure true functional states. Dynamic Changes: Functional states can change rapidly, making it hard to capture a representative snapshot. Complexity: The complexity of cellular interactions and signaling pathways can complicate the interpretation of functional state.
