Why is Luxol Fast Blue Staining Important in Diagnosing Neurological Conditions?
The ability of LFB to selectively stain myelin makes it an invaluable tool in the diagnosis of neurological conditions. In diseases like multiple sclerosis, where the myelin sheath is damaged, LFB staining can reveal areas of demyelination, providing critical information for diagnosis and treatment planning. This technique helps differentiate between normal myelinated fibers and pathological changes, guiding clinical decisions.
