I have a publication that did this with decalcified bone, also PMMA
embedded bone and the shrinkage was 25% for both (their statistics)
Fascinating article plus an eye opener on processing tissues.
I would assume if decalcified bone shrinks, soft tissues will have the
same problem.
I also noticed this when I took my HTL exam years ago, that I had to
cut in the tissues (before processing) larger than the final dimensions
they required due to shrinkage after processing. Never thought to
measure the differences and calculate
