No. A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a functional product (i.e. a protein). A tissue is a group of similar cells performing the same task.

Definition of Tissue Specificity?

Tissue specificity refers to the exclusive or predominant expression of a gene or protein in a particular type of tissue within an organism. This specificity allows for the proper functioning of cells and tissues by ensuring that certain genes are only active in specific locations. Variations in tissue-specific gene expression can contribute to the diversity and specialization of different cell types.

How do you find supplier that are able to offer Custom Tissue Array?

Creative Bioarray provides custom tissue arrays to help scientists efficiently analyze gene and protein expressions in multiple tissue samples. Tissue microarray is a high-throughput technique that allows rapid gene expression and copy-number surveys of large numbers of different tissue specimens. In addition, it represents a technical revolution for highly effective use of human tissue specimens, which are both difficult and expensive to obtain in enough amount and case number.

Men have breast tissue, but a gene causes the mammary glands to stay dormant.


Definition of conditional knockout?

A conditional knockout is the event in which a gene can be specifically inactive within tissue. This can be accomplished in most tissue types including the brain, muscles, skin, and intestines.


What is spatial transcriptiomics?

The fundamental idea is to retain spatial information while profiling gene expression in the tissue. Thin sections of tissue are mounted onto slides that contain an arrangement of spots or arrays, each with unique molecular barcodes or capture probes. After that, the tissue sections on the slides are treated so that mRNA molecules can bind to the capture probes or barcodes on the array. Since each capture probe is designed to target a specific gene or set of genes, it becomes possible to identify RNA molecules that correspond to the expressed genes by applying reverse transcription and DNA sequencing. Lasst but not least, the spatial information from each array can be combined with the results of the gene sequencing, resulting in a spatial gene expression map of the tissue. To learn more about about human tissue samples and how they are used, I recommend you to visit our website, where we gathered more information and some FAQs: centralbiohub.de/biospecimens/tissue-bank/human-tissue-samples


What charateristics do rapid regenerating tissues have in common?

Regeneration can either be complete where the new tissue is the same as the lost tissue, or incomplete where after the necrotic tissue comes fibrosis.At its most elementary level, regeneration is mediated by the molecular processes of gene regulation.


What is one obstacle gene therapy faces?

Gene therapy is considered as a risky business as it has a chance of promoting cancer if the inserted DNA placed in a wrong place (locus). Gene therapy is aimed to cure genetic diseases by inserting DNA or gene as a drug in the tissue or cells. Viral vectors are the vehicles used for this purpose.


What is gene-activated matrix?

In gene-activated matrix technology (GAM), cytokines and growth factors could be delivered not as recombinant proteins but as plasmid genes (Ref.1). GAM is one of the tissue engineering approaches to wound healing. Following gene delivery, the recombinant cytokine could be expressed in situ by endogenous would healing cells - in small amounts but for prolonged period of time - leading to reproducible tissue regeneration.


How does tissue determine identity?

Tissue identity is determined by its specialized function and structure, which is dictated by the specific proteins and genes expressed within the cells of that tissue. Cell communication and signaling pathways also play a role in maintaining tissue identity by regulating gene expression and cell behavior. Additionally, the microenvironment surrounding the tissue, such as neighboring cells and extracellular matrix, can influence and maintain tissue identity.
