Collagen is used in histology for several reasons:
Biocompatibility: Collagen is naturally found in the human body, making it biocompatible and safe for use in medical applications. Cell Adhesion: Cells readily adhere to collagen-coated surfaces, which is essential for cell culture and tissue engineering. Cell Proliferation: Collagen promotes cell proliferation and differentiation, aiding in the development of functional tissues. Structural Support: Collagen provides a structural framework that supports tissue integrity and function.
