What Types of Control Groups are Used in Histology?
Several types of control groups may be employed in histological studies:
Negative Control: This group does not receive the experimental treatment and is expected to show no significant change. It helps in understanding the baseline response. Positive Control: This group receives a treatment known to produce a specific effect, serving as a standard to compare the experimental results. Sham Control: This group undergoes all the procedural steps except the actual experimental treatment, to account for procedural effects.
