Multifactorial Perspective for Greening Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis: Rigid Polyacrylate Macroporous Resin in Combination with Green Solvents. [PDF]
A rigid, non‐swelling polyacrylate resin enables greener solid‐phase peptide synthesis by allowing various green solvents during the peptide synthesis and significantly reduced process mass intensity without compromising peptide synthesis efficiency/purity.

Silica-Assisted Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SiPPS). [PDF]
The use of a non‐swelling resin for solid‐phase peptide synthesis allows the reduction of solvent consumption by up to 50%. ABSTRACT Non‐swelling silica‐based resin was used for peptide synthesis. The strategy used is similar to that of solid‐phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), referred to as silica‐assisted solid‐phase peptide synthesis (SiPPS).

Erythropoietic protoporphyria in the Netherlands:Clinical features, psychosocial impact and the effect of afamelanotide [PDF]
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) patients experience severe burning pain after light exposure, which results in a markedly reduced quality of life. However, there is limited information on the psychosocial aspects of EPP.

Medicaments and oral healthcare. Hyperpigmentation of oral soft tissues due to afamelanotide [PDF]
The medicament afamelanotide is an analogue of endogenous ?-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It promotes cutaneous pigmentation, providing protection from sunlight. In dermatology, afamelanotide seems to establish therapeutic results for polymorphic light

Objective light exposure measurements and circadian rhythm in patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria:A case-control study [PDF]
Background: Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) patients suffer from painful phototoxicity. Sunlight-avoiding behaviour has not yet been quantified objectively in EPP patients.
