What are the Histological Methods for Studying Angiogenesis?
Several histological techniques are used to study angiogenesis, including:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Utilized to detect specific proteins involved in angiogenesis, such as VEGF and CD31. In Situ Hybridization (ISH): Used to detect mRNA expression of angiogenic factors. Microvessel Density (MVD): A quantitative measure of angiogenesis, often assessed by counting the number of vessels in a given area.
