<h4>Background</h4>Quantification of microRNAs in specific cell populations microdissected from tissues can be used to define their biological roles, and to develop and deploy biomarker assays. In this study, a number of variables were examined for their effect on the yield of microRNAs in samples obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues by laser microdissection.<h4>Results</h4>MicroRNA yield was improved by using cresyl violet instead of hematoxylin-eosin to stain tissue sections ...[more]
