HEWITSON, T.D.; DARBY, I.A. Histology protocols. New York: Human Press, 2010. 229 p.

The book Histology Protocols, edited by Tim D. Hewitson and Ian A. Darby (Human Press, 225 pages) reports the basic techniques of immunohistochemistry and molecular biology used to optimize resources and obtain accurate results. The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, the authors explain in three chapters how to prepare tissue, perform fixation, embedding and sample processing (Chapter 1) for the main techniques used for extracting RNA from histological samples (Chapters 2 and 3). The main histological staining techniques are covered in the second part of the book. Techniques for identification including immune (Chapters 4-7), lectin (Chapter 8), hybridization (Chapter 9), histochemical staining and microscopy (Chapters 10 and 11), and specific methods for identification of hypoxia in situ (Chapter 12) and apoptosis (Chapter 13), are described. In the third part, the authors conclude the book with advanced imaging techniques (Chapters 14-16) and image analysis (Chapter 17). This book is recommended to students and researchers using the laboratory techniques on histology described. Updated protocols are described by renowned scientists in the area using understandable language while details of possible interference are given for each technique. Tim D. Hewiston and Ian A. Darby have undertaken several studies on histology, many of which were conducted in collaboration with the authors contributing to this book.
