Im trying to find out more information about Movat saffron-straining collagen as it relates to collagen maturation/cross-linking. Does anybody know whether more aligned or more cross-linked collagen will pick up more saffron in a Movat pentachrome stain? (We mostly are dealing with collagen type I in our Movats). I have also been trying to find out more about the mechanism of saffron-staining binding to collagen fibers in the context of the Movat pentachrome stain. If anyone has any information on these topics, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!!
