Why is Single Cell Sequencing Important in Histology?
In histology, tissues are composed of various cell types with complex interactions. Traditional methods often overlook the diversity within these tissues. Single cell sequencing allows researchers to: - Identify rare cell populations that may play crucial roles in tissue function or disease. - Understand cell differentiation pathways and how stem cells give rise to different cell types. - Map tissue architecture by linking cell types with their spatial locations. - Investigate disease mechanisms by comparing healthy and diseased cells at a single-cell level.
