How Does the NHLBI Utilize Histological Techniques?
The NHLBI employs various histological techniques to explore the pathophysiology of cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic diseases. Common methods include staining techniques like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), and advanced imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy and electron microscopy. These approaches help visualize and quantify changes at the tissue and cellular levels.
