What Techniques are Used to Study Molecular Signals in Histology?
Several techniques are employed to study molecular signals in histology, including:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Uses antibodies to detect specific proteins in tissue sections. In situ hybridization (ISH): Detects specific nucleotide sequences in tissue sections. Western blotting: Analyzes protein expression and post-translational modifications. Confocal microscopy: Provides high-resolution images of molecular interactions within tissues. Flow cytometry: Quantifies and sorts cells based on the expression of specific molecular markers.
