August 1979 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study found that a histochemical stain using 4-dimethyl-aminocinnamaldehyde effectively distinguishes between plucked anagen and telogen hairs by causing the root ends of anagen hairs to develop a red color.
1 citations
,
January 2023 in “Indian Journal of Animal Research” The researchers developed a technique for processing and staining free hair samples using paraffin embedded blocks, revealing that routine staining does not color the enucleated cuticle, while the cortex and medulla show distinct colorations when stained.

March 2007 in “BioTechniques” This study observed that PCR-based genotyping for cre-loxP mice can lead to errors due to cre-mediated recombination in non-target tissues like tails, affecting the detection of lox alleles.
9 citations
,
February 2018 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study found that methylene blue staining helped identify late catagen and telogen hair follicles more accurately than unstained follicles, which suggests that established telogen percentage standards may be overestimated.
