Histopathology: Decoding the Microscopic Details of Disease

Abstract

Loh Ma*

Histopathology is a specialized branch of pathology that plays a vital role in understanding disease mechanisms by examining tissue samples under a microscope. This discipline forms the foundation of medical diagnosis, offering insights into the cellular and structural abnormalities that characterize various diseases, including cancers, infections, and degenerative conditions. Through the detailed analysis of tissue architecture, cellular structures, and alterations induced by disease, histopathologists provide invaluable information that aids in diagnosing, staging, and monitoring disease progression. The significance of histopathology cannot be overstated as it helps in bridging the gap between clinical presentations and the microscopic features that define pathological conditions.
