How Are Histological Techniques Used to Study Comorbidities?
- Staining: Techniques like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, Masson's Trichrome staining, and immunohistochemistry are crucial for identifying different cellular and extracellular components in tissues. - Electron Microscopy: This allows for the visualization of ultrastructural changes in cells, providing more detailed insights into cellular damage and organelle dysfunction. - Molecular Techniques: Methods such as in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence can detect specific proteins and nucleic acids, helping to identify molecular pathways involved in comorbid conditions.
