Enzyme assays are crucial in histology for several reasons:
Diagnostic Tool: Enzyme activity patterns can be indicative of certain diseases, making enzyme assays valuable in diagnosing conditions like cancer, metabolic disorders, and infections. Tissue Functionality: They help in understanding the functional state of tissues by assessing enzyme distribution and activity. Research Applications: Enzyme assays are used in research to study cellular processes, enzyme mechanisms, and the effects of various treatments on tissues.
