Cell & Tissue Markers

Cell and tissue markers are essential tools in biology and medicine, providing valuable insights into the structure, function, and behavior of cells and tissues. These markers selectively detected and identify specific cell types and characterize various biological processes. They can be used to identify and classify different cell types based on their expression patterns resulting in the understanding of tissue organization, development, and homeostasis. Cell and tissue markers can also serve as diagnostic indicators for various diseases and conditions. For example, tumor markers such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and CA-125 are used in cancer diagnostics, while cardiac troponins are employed in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Markers for stem cell play a critical role in regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy. They help researchers identify and isolate stem cell populations with specific differentiation potentials, enabling the development of cell-based therapies for tissue repair and regeneration.
