“…They denatured DNA in situ and then formed DNA‐DNA hybrids with radioisotope‐labeled DNA probes that could be detected with autoradiography. Since then, in situ hybridization has been applied in numerous fields, including developmental biology, phylogenetics, molecular biology, pathology, microbiology, oncology, cardiology, and neurology (Cao et al., 2023; Carr, 1995; Cui et al., 2016; Fitzpatrick et al., 2023; Laurent‐Huck & Felix, 1991; Luo & Liu, 2019; Pecciarini et al., 2023; Zhou et al., 2023). Although FISH has been used to localize miRNAs in cells (Dixon‐McIver et al., 2008; Herzer et al., 2012; Silahtaroglu, 2010), it remains challenging to detect low‐abundant miRNAs in histological sections (Kasai et al., 2016; Nuovo et al., 2009; Sempere et al., 2010; Zaidi et al., 2000).…”
