Article Synopsis
- - The study critiques the common practice of using liver biopsies stained with Masson's trichrome or picrosirius red for assessing liver fibrosis, highlighting inconsistencies in quantifying liver connective tissue (LCT) across different studies.
- - Researchers found up to 170-fold variations in LCT measurements among healthy rat strains, with biases in sampling and quantification contributing to these discrepancies.
- - They suggest that employing stereological sampling methods, like systematic uniform sampling, could yield more reliable and unbiased data for liver fibrosis assessment, potentially aiding in the validation of non-invasive diagnostic techniques.
