Cellular morphology: Identifying abnormal cell shapes and sizes can help in diagnosing malignancies. Tissue architecture: Changes in tissue organization can indicate the presence of tumors or inflammatory diseases. Pathogen identification: Special stains and IHC can reveal infectious agents responsible for conditions like encephalitis. Protein expression: Abnormal expression patterns of specific proteins can aid in diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases.
