Why is Masson's Trichrome Staining Important in Toxicology?
Masson's Trichrome staining is pivotal in toxicology for several reasons:
Fibrosis Detection: The technique is widely used to detect fibrotic changes in tissues, which are indicative of chronic damage or inflammation caused by toxic substances. Liver Toxicity Evaluation: It is particularly useful for evaluating liver damage, as it can highlight collagen deposition associated with liver fibrosis. Lung Damage Assessment: It helps in assessing lung damage by visualizing fibrotic changes in pulmonary tissues due to inhalation of toxic agents.
