  • Genomics

Background:

  • Tissue microdissection is crucial for molecular pathology.
  • Laser-assisted microdissection (LAM) offers precise cell procurement.
  • LAM integrates with molecular techniques for analyzing defined cell populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the utility of laser-assisted microdissection in molecular pathology.
  • To discuss the application of LAM in studying genetic alterations and gene expression.
  • To explore the potential of LAM in identifying novel disease biomarkers through proteomic analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Laser-assisted microdissection for isolating specific cells from tissue specimens.
  • Multiplex molecular approaches for analyzing DNA and mRNA from isolated cells.
