What Are the Key Steps in Histology-Based Drug Discovery?
The process of histology-based drug discovery involves several key steps:
Tissue Collection: Samples are collected from animal models or human biopsies for analysis. Tissue Processing: Samples are fixed, embedded, sectioned, and stained to preserve and visualize cellular structures. Microscopic Examination: Researchers examine stained tissue sections to identify pathological changes and assess drug effects. Data Analysis: Quantitative and qualitative analysis of tissue images to evaluate drug efficacy and safety.
