Hi all, I'm reading about OXPHOS diseases (defects in mitochondrial protein subunits of respiratory chain). RFF in MERRF stands for "red ragged fibers", see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ragged_red_fibers_in_MELAS.jpg
I don't get what is stained there exactly. The picture shows a muscle biopsy stained with Gomori's trichrome stain.. What is stained in these red fibers? I'm sure one of you has some experience with that. Thanks, V.
