Cell Microdissection
Cell Microdissection is a technique used to isolate specific cells from a tissue sample for further analysis. This method allows researchers to study the genetic, molecular, and biochemical properties of individual cells, which can provide insights into various biological processes and diseases.
The process typically involves using a microscope to identify the target cells and then employing tools like lasers or fine needles to extract them. This precise approach is valuable in fields such as cancer research, where understanding the behavior of specific cell types can lead to better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
