How Do Histological Techniques Enhance Disease Diagnosis?
Histological techniques, such as staining and microscopy, are indispensable for accurate disease diagnosis. Techniques like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining enable pathologists to differentiate between normal and abnormal tissue structures. Advanced methods, such as immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, allow for the detection of specific proteins and nucleic acids in tissues, providing critical information about disease progression and prognosis.
