About the Book
This extensively updated 5th edition offers a modern, clinically enriched approach to histology, integrating the latest advances in cellular and molecular biology. Featuring over 170 photomicrographs, newly created drawings, and laboratory instructions in most chapters, the book provides a visually immersive and practical learning experience.

Major updates include recent discoveries such as ER-shaping proteins, the abundance of adipose-derived stem cells, expanded insights into the phases of Alzheimer’s disease, and the role of the glymphatic system in disease progression. Additionally, new information on the human microbiome is incorporated to reflect evolving scientific understanding.

Designed for effective learning, the book uses bolded key terms, bullet points, quick-reference tables, and chapter summaries to simplify complex concepts. The inclusion of USMLE-style and image-based questions in the accompanying digital version helps learners test and reinforce their understanding.

The enhanced eBook (included with purchase) provides convenient access to the complete text, illustrations, and references across multiple devices — making it an invaluable resource for medical, dental, and allied health students studying histology.
