What Techniques are Commonly Used in MRC-Funded Histological Studies?
MRC-funded histological studies often employ a variety of advanced techniques, including:
- Immunohistochemistry: A method to detect specific proteins in tissue sections using antibodies, aiding in the identification of disease markers. - In Situ Hybridization: A technique to localize specific DNA or RNA sequences within tissues, providing insights into gene expression patterns. - Electron Microscopy: Offering high-resolution images of tissue architecture, useful for studying ultrastructural changes in diseases. - Digital Pathology: The use of digital imaging and analysis tools to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of histological evaluations.
