Can Histology Detect Early Signs of Neurodegenerative Diseases?
Yes, histology is instrumental in identifying early pathological changes in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. By studying brain tissues, histologists can detect the accumulation of abnormal proteins like amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, which are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Early detection through histological examination can lead to timely interventions, potentially slowing disease progression.
