Ziehl–Neelsen in Schistosomiasis: Much More than Staining the Shell and Species Identification
The Ziehl–Neelsen (ZN) stain, also known as the acidfast stain, has been reported to be helpful in detection and identification of Schistosoma eggs. In histological sections, Schistosoma mansoni egg shells appear as ZN positive and Schistosoma haematobium shells as ZN negative. The staining target of the responsible ZN component (carbolfuchsin) in the shell is unknown. Because carbolfuchsin is ...

AD (Alzheimer's disease) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a gradual loss of neurons and the accumulation of neurotoxic Aβ (amyloid β-peptide) and hyperphosphorylated tau. The discovery of mutations in three genes, PSEN1 (presenilin 1), PSEN2 (presenilin 2) and APP (amyloid precursor protein), in patients with FAD (familial AD) has made an important contribution towards an underst...
