What Technologies are Used in Histology for Biotechnology Applications?
Several advanced technologies are employed in histology to support biotechnology applications:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique uses antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissues, aiding in the diagnosis of diseases and the development of targeted therapies. In Situ Hybridization (ISH): ISH allows for the detection of specific nucleic acid sequences within tissues, facilitating the study of gene expression and genetic anomalies. Digital Pathology: The digitization of tissue slides enables advanced image analysis and the use of artificial intelligence to identify patterns that are invisible to the human eye.
