What Histological Techniques Are Used to Study Glial Reaction?
Various histological techniques are employed to study glial reaction, including immunohistochemistry, which allows for the detection of specific proteins such as GFAP in astrocytes or Iba1 in microglia. Other methods include electron microscopy for ultrastructural analysis, and in situ hybridization for studying gene expression. These techniques provide insights into the cellular and molecular changes occurring during glial reactions.
