What are the Histological Techniques to Study Cytoskeletal Breakdown?
Histologists use several techniques to study cytoskeletal breakdown. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence are commonly employed to visualize specific cytoskeletal proteins using antibodies. Electron microscopy provides detailed images of the cytoskeleton at a high resolution. Additionally, Western blotting and flow cytometry are used to quantify the levels of cytoskeletal proteins and their fragments.
