What are the Pathological Implications of RNA in Histology?
Abnormalities in RNA molecules can lead to various diseases:
Cancer: Dysregulation of miRNA can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and tumorigenesis. Neurodegenerative diseases: Mutations in RNA-binding proteins or splicing factors can result in disorders like ALS. Viral infections: RNA viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, rely on host cell machinery for replication, highlighting the importance of RNA in viral pathogenesis.
