Microdissection techniques are specialized methods used to isolate and study specific cells, tissues, or structures at a microscopic level. These techniques often involve the use of fine tools or lasers to precisely cut and extract small samples from larger biological specimens, allowing researchers to analyze their composition and function in detail. Common applications of microdissection include the study of DNA, RNA, and proteins in targeted cells, which can provide insights into genetic disorders and cancer. By enabling the examination of individual cells or specific regions, microdissection plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of cellular biology and disease mechanisms.
