How is Goblet Cell Abundance Assessed in Histology?
Assessing goblet cell abundance in histological sections typically involves:
Staining: Using specific histochemical stains to highlight goblet cells and their mucin content. Quantification: Counting the number of goblet cells per unit area or per number of epithelial cells in a given section. Comparative Analysis: Comparing goblet cell density in different regions or under different conditions to identify pathological changes.
