TLDR
The cost effective answer for quantitative immunohistochemical analysis is ImageJ, a Java image processing and analysis program based on NIH Image for the Macintosh, developed by Wayne Rasband.Abstract:
An important objective for scientists is to statistically compare staining intensity (Fig. 1) or fluorescence (Fig. 2) for a particular marker between treatments or groups. Simply “eyeballing” an image and stating that a particular treatment or group is more densely stained or brightly fluorescent than another treatment or group is insufficient for scientific publications. Systems are available for image analysis in immunohistochemistry. However, many of these systems require expensive software and hardware attachments for acquisition, analysis, and storage of images. Therefore, an inexpensive and reliable alternative for image analysis is desirable. The cost effective answer for quantitative immunohistochemical analysis is ImageJ, developed by Wayne Rasband (http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/docs/index. html). ImageJ is a Java image processing and analysis program based on NIH Image for the Macintosh. ImageJ is available in the public domain (i.e., free). ImageJ runs on any computer that is a Java 1.5 or later virtual machine. Java runtime environments are available for free from Sun Microsystems or bundled with platform-specific installations of ImageJ (rsb.info.nih.gov/ij). Downloadable copies are available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX. For the evaluation of immunohistochemistry slides using ImageJ, images are captured onto the hard drive of the workstation computer. Thereafter, captured images are opened in NIH Image/ ImageJ for evaluating indices of positivity on immunohistochemistry slides, as well as fluorescence images.read more

TL;DR: The postmortem analysis of a patient with Parkinson’s disease who underwent unilateral cell transplantation in the putamen with human embryonic mesencephalic tissue at 24 y before death provides the first reported evidence that even a viable dopaminergic graft giving rise to extensive striatal reinnervation may lose its efficacy if widespread degenerative changes develop in the host brain.

TL;DR: It is argued that the RORα INs direct corrective reflex movements by integrating touch information with descending motor commands from the cortex and cerebellum, and are innervated by corticospinal and vestibulospinal projection neurons.

TL;DR: The present comparative study on BPA and its analogs, namely, BPB, BPF, and BPS suggests the toxic effect of these chemicals on the testes and spermatogenesis, and observes that these chemicals induce oxidative stress in the reproductive tissues of male rats.

ImageJ for microscopy
TL;DR: The near-comprehensive range of import filters that allow easy access to image and meta-data, a broad suite processing and analysis routine, and enthusiastic support from a friendly mailing list are invaluable for all microscopy labs and facilities-not just those on a budget.

An Official Research Policy Statement of the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society: Standards for Quantitative Assessment of Lung Structure
TL;DR: The lung poses special challenges, some of which are outlined below and discussed in later sections: Heterogeneity of lung structure requires standardized preparation methods, and the practice of picking specific samples or sections often fails to account for regional heterogeneity, leading to biased conclusions with respect to the whole organ.
