Molecular probes and endocrine diseases.
This presentation reviews the use of in situ hybridization in the study of endocrine diseases. The basic techniques used, technical problems and pitfalls in interpretation and the application of in situ hybridization in the practice of diagnostic endocrine pathology are discussed. Finally, future directions for this technique and related molecular biological methods and their potential applications are presented.
