Extra Details:
The myelin sheath is a membrane that wraps around the axons of nerve cells. It is composed of myelin-forming cells and their cell membranes; forming a multilayered lipid bilayer structure through spiral wrapping of the neural membrane cell’s plasma membrane along the axonal axis. The myelin sheath contains nodes of Ranvier; which allow for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses. Myelin staining is of certain significance in pathological diagnosis. Pathological changes in myelin can be divided into early; middle; and late stages. In the early stage; myelin stains deeply; in the middle stage; degenerated myelin forms lipid droplets; which can be demonstrated with lipid stains; in the late stage; myelin is completely degraded and removed by phagocytes; resulting in loss of positive staining. Many diseases can cause changes in myelin. EnkiLife Myelin Staining Solution (Fast Green Method) can reveal whether the myelin is intact; degenerated; or necrotic under pathological conditions; as well as the extent of repair. It is valuable for pathological diagnosis and research of neural tissue. Myelin appears dark blue-green; while demyelinated fibers are unstained.
