Laser Capture Microdissection in Dentistry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laser capture microdissection (LCM) allows for the microscopic procurement of specific cell types from tissue sections that can then be used for gene expression analysis. According to the recent development of the LCM technologies and methodologies, the LCM has been used in various kinds of tissue specimens in dental research. For example, the real-time polymerase-chain reaction (PCR) can be performed from the formaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded, and immunostained sections. Thus, the advance of immuno-LCM method allows us to improve the validity of molecular biological analysis and to get more accurate diagnosis in pathological field in contrast to conventional LCM. This paper is focused on the presentation and discussion of the existing literature that covers the fields of RNA analysis following LCM in dentistry.

Use of laser capture microdissection, cDNA microarrays, and tissue microarrays in advancing our understanding of prostate cancer.
One difficulty in studying epithelial tumors has been the inability to isolate pure samples for DNA and RNA analysis. Prostate cancer, with its infiltrative nature, is particularly challenging. The Combination of several new technologies should help overcome these hurdles. Laser capture microdissection uses a laser beam to achieve transfer of pure cell populations for isolation of DNA, RNA, and...
