What Tissues Can Be Stained with Reticulin Staining?
Reticulin staining is particularly useful for tissues rich in reticular fibers, such as:
- Liver: To evaluate the fibrous network in conditions like cirrhosis. - Bone Marrow: To assess the stromal framework in hematological disorders. - Spleen: To examine the reticular network supporting splenic architecture. - Lymph Nodes: To visualize the fibrous network in lymphoid tissues.
