How does histology help identify disease causation?
Histology allows scientists and physicians to examine tissues closely, identifying structural changes that might indicate disease. For instance, the presence of abnormal cell types or arrangements can suggest cancerous growths or other pathologies. By comparing diseased tissues with healthy ones, histologists can infer causative factors and progression patterns of diseases. The identification of specific cellular changes, such as necrosis or inflammation, can provide clues to the underlying causes, whether infectious, genetic, or environmental.
