What Are the Applications of Quantitative Histology?
Quantitative histology has a wide range of applications:
1. Cancer Research: It helps in understanding the growth patterns of tumors, the density of microvessels, and the extent of necrosis. 2. Neuroscience: Quantitative histology is used to analyze neuronal density, synaptic connections, and the distribution of different cell types in the brain. 3. Cardiovascular Studies: It aids in the assessment of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and other cardiovascular diseases by quantifying changes in tissue structure. 4. Developmental Biology: It enables the study of tissue growth and differentiation during embryonic development.
