Abstract

Bone histomorphometry remains an important tool to study the pathophysiology of bone disease and the cellular mechanism by which treatments work. Here, we review the methods for embedding, sectioning, staining, and analysis of bone sections in rodents.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a review, done in animal, not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
