Myelin is a substance rich in lipids and proteins that forms a layer, the myelin sheath, around only the axon of a neuron and acts as insulation. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Demyelination is the loss of the myelin sheath insulating the nerves. This impairs the conduction of signals in the affected nerves, causing impairment in sensation, movement, and cognition. Currently, no cure exists for demyelinating diseases and myelin repair is an active research field. Hito Luxol Hito Luxol Fast Blue - PAS OptimStain™ Kit allows sensitive localization and visualization of the myelin fibers. PAS counterstain provides color contrasts which show morphological features that are particularly significant in the tissue, thus offers a fast and reliable way to determine the extent of demyelination.
