Storage-associated artefact in equine muscle biopsy samples
Journal Article
Stanley, R. L., Maile, C., & Piercy, R. J. Storage-associated artefact in equine muscle biopsy samples. Equine Veterinary Journal, 41(1), 82-86. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516408x330374

Reasons for performing study: Muscle biopsy is increasingly used in equine veterinary practice for investigating exertional, inflammatory or immune mediated myopathies and unexplained muscle atrophy. Although formalin-fixed samples are often used, fo... Read More about Storage-associated artefact in equine muscle biopsy samples.
