Tissue Microarrays, A Revolution in Pathology Research

Tissue Microarrays, A Revolution in Pathology Research

A long-lasting problem in the analysis of tissue samples is the time-consuming and repetitive process of histologic preparation and pathologic review of tissue sections. These two critical factors, innate nonuniformity in preparation and subjectivity of analysis, therefore limit the scientific and...
