Basics of Histological Methodology

This volume was born from the idea of providing a theoretical-practical guide for introducing the main methodologies that are performed in a histological laboratory. This text represents a starting point for embarking on a scientific path for the application of histological methodologies both in the field of basic and clinical scientific research. The volume is organized into four sections, each of which also provides experimental details that can be followed to optimize the execution of the methodology. It is also enriched with a web guide and bibliography that makes the text a practical guide for programming and developing experimental plans.
The volume begins with description of the methodologies for the development of cell cultures and continues with description of the methods and scientific instruments of investigation that are available in a histology laboratory. These methods are extremely current and relevant for morphological and functional studies aimed at understanding the organization and function of the different tissues of the human body.
