Re: [Histonet] Histo arcania ... Reticulum vs Reticulin
There is only a semantics difference. Reticulum is a connective mesh holding together some organs components such as liver, spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow. In the German literature is called glitterfassern and many silver stains, such as Gomori, are specific for it. Reticulin is used either to refer to the holding mesh or to the stain, especially when dealing with bone marrow specimens. René J.

RE: [Histonet] Histo arcania ... Reticulum vs Reticulin
Here is a bit more on the terms this article gives some background on Reticulin vs Reticulum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticular_fiber Briefly, Reticulin refers specifically to collagen III. Reticulum is an old term that referred to generalized staining of reticular fibers and at that time they had no idea of the varieties of collagen. Since the silver stain has been shown to be non-specific the term Reticulum may be more correct for the generalized staining.

Re: [Histonet] Histo arcania ... Reticulum vs Reticulin
Reticulin is a type of fiber in connective tissue composed of type III collage secreted by reticular cells. Reticulum pertains to the endoplasmic reticulum, the second chamber of the alimentary canal of a ruminant animal, or (less frequent) the plural of reticular cell.
