What Technologies are Used in Systems Biology for Histology?
Several advanced technologies are used to merge systems biology with histology. These include:
High-Throughput Sequencing: Enables the analysis of genetic material at an unprecedented scale, offering insights into gene expression patterns within tissues. Mass Spectrometry: Utilized for proteomics to identify and quantify proteins within tissue samples. Imaging Mass Cytometry: Combines histological imaging with mass spectrometry to visualize the spatial distribution of proteins and other molecules within tissues. Single-Cell RNA Sequencing: Provides detailed information about the transcriptome of individual cells within a tissue, revealing cellular heterogeneity.
