Methods and protocols third edition seeks to aid researchers generally and pathologists in particular in moving their studies forward with these vital techniques.
Laser capture microdissection lcm technology allows isolating zonal homogenous cell populations and consequently generating more accurate molecular and genetic data but the challenges during tissue preparation and microdissection procedures are to obtain acceptable tissue section morphology that allows histological identification of the desirable cell type and to minimize rna degradation.
