Why are Chemical Interactions Critical in Diagnosing Diseases?
Chemical interactions in histology are vital for diagnosing diseases. By highlighting specific cellular and extracellular components, pathologists can identify abnormalities in tissue structure and composition. For instance, PAS staining can reveal glycogen storage diseases, while IHC can detect cancer markers like HER2 in breast cancer. These diagnostic tools are crucial for providing accurate diagnoses and guiding treatment decisions.
