What Role Does Histology Play in Biomaterial Engineering?
Histology plays a pivotal role in evaluating the performance of biomaterials. By staining and examining tissue samples, histologists can provide detailed insights into how well a biomaterial integrates with existing tissues. Techniques such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy are commonly used to assess cellular responses, identify specific cell types, and observe the ultrastructural features of tissue-biomaterial interfaces.
