Pathway Dissection
Knockdown cell lines are used to dissect signaling pathways and understand interactions between different genes and their contributions to various cellular functions.
Therapeutic Development
Knockdown approaches can aid in developing gene therapy strategies, where the aim is to silence harmful genes associated with disease.
High-Throughput Screening
Knockdown cell lines are used in high-throughput screening to identify compounds that can restore function or counteract effects caused by the gene knockdown.
