Summary of small sampling of tissues processed for histology via cryosectioning (cryo) or formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) sectioning. Values are shown as an average of five fields of view ± standard deviation. * indicates significant difference between cryosection and FFPE section (p < 0.05).
