Why are Isotopic Tracers Important in Histological Studies?
Isotopic tracers provide a unique ability to track biological processes in a non-invasive manner. This capability is essential for understanding the complexities of tissue dynamics without altering the natural state of the tissue. Tracers also allow for the quantification of metabolic activity and can pinpoint specific pathways that are upregulated or downregulated in diseases, aiding in both diagnostic and therapeutic developments.
