Histology
What do we do?
In the laboratory it is possible to process histologically and/or cytologically normal, pathological or modified tissues of any living organism for research purposes.
Basic, routine and special procedures (fixation, dehydration, inclusion, cutting, followed by routine and special histo-cytochemical staining) can be performed.
Research and quantification of protein antigens through immunohistochemical techniques on tissue/cellular substrates, both fresh and FFPE, is performed, also with semi-automated instrumentation.
Strategic projects are supported in the field of oncology (solid and haematological tumours), in acute and chronic inflammatory diseases of various districts (liver, intestine, etc), in chemo-prevention and autoimmune diseases.
In addition to these services, support and advice to the researcher is provided both during the design phase and during the various phases of the experimental activity.
