Abstract "Standards for quantitative assessment of lung structure - an introduction to the official research policy statement of the American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society" By Prof. Matthia Ochs, Hannover Medical School, Germany This webinar is intended to provide an introduction to the basic principles of design-based stereology with emphasis on its practical application to the lung. Topics include experimental design, specimen preparation, sampling techniques, use of stereological probes, and estimation of stereological parameters. Examples of applications to animal models of lung disease will be given. The principles and recommendations follow the recently established "standards for quantitative assessment of lung structure", developed by a task force of the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society, which have been published as an official ATS/ERS research policy statement (Hsia CCW, Hyde DM, Ochs M, Weibel ER. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2010:181:394-418). |
