Books about Histochemistry from Amazon.com

Pathology is an inherently subjective discipline, and therefore is often referred to as both an art and a science Over the years, laboratory physicians have implemented special tissue stains and molecular techniques to limit subjectivity in the discipline. Beginning in the late 19th century, histochemical stains were developed to assess diagnostic biochemical reactions in tissue. Histochemistry has recently seen a resurgence in popularity because of the higher costs of other newer methods. Today, this technique is used by almost every pathology laboratory across the world.
This book comprehensively covers all diseases for which that technique plays a central role in diagnosis. Every anatomic region is covered in detail with examples of appropriate staining techniques, and the book is heavily illustrated with over 850 color photomicrographs. This is the first monograph to be published on histochemistry in 15 years, and it is the only one that is diagnostically-oriented..

Histochemistry deals with the activities of chemical components in cells, and immunohistochemistry addresses the function of cell types in tissue or organs, such as those leading to acceptance or rejection of grafts or organs.

This book is a methods volume focusing on antigen retrieval, particularly methods used in disease-related antigens. Because the book is a methods volume and a lab manual, it will have an audience of pathologists, biochemists, and lab technicians.

The functional analysis of macromolecular structures in tissues and cells has been greatly enhanced by advances in histochemistry and cytochemistry. Enzyme histochemistry is becoming particularly important as new methods succeed in demonstrating and quantifying the activity of key regulatory enzymes. The specificity, precision, and reproducibility of enzyme histochemical methods are constantly improving. This practical laboratory handbook contains a selection of the most important enzyme histochemical techniques currently available for light microscopy. The methods included here were chosen because of their reliability and specificity, and all are clearly detailed in easy-to-follow protocols. The introductory chapter provides a good theoretical background to enzyme histochemistry, and the book will be of interest to all researchers in cell biology, pathology, biochemistry, and cell physiology..
