Molecular Techniques in Histopathology

Abstract

Vikrant Singh

Pathology focuses on the morphological aspects of disease research for the most part. Molecular techniques are used in conjunction with pathology to isolate and identify specific infectious disease agents, to give more accurate illness diagnosis, to define the function of differential gene expression in disease aetiology, and to provide customised medicine approaches to therapy. In both clinical and anatomical pathology laboratories, molecular approaches have become indispensable. Many molecular applications in anatomical pathology have demonstrated their worth and effectiveness. Molecular approaches can help define disease more precisely, discover predictive and prognostic markers, and aid in the identification of novel molecular targets for specific therapeutic techniques.
