Activation of NRF2 by topical apocarotenoid treatment mitigates radiation-induced dermatitis

Redox Biology, 2020
Radiation therapy is a frontline treatment option for cancer patients; however, the effects of radiotherapy on non-tumor tissue (e.g. radiation-induced dermatitis) often worsen patient quality of life.

Amazon river prawn larvae incorporate astaxanthin in response to dietary supplementation with Bixa orellana

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract This study evaluated the effects of dietary bixin, a carotenoid from Bixa orellana, on larval development, post‐larval performance, and carotenoid deposition in Macrobrachium amazonicum under controlled conditions. Larvae were reared in a recirculating aquaculture system with a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) and fed Artemia nauplii and an ...

Diethylene glycol-zinc chloride based deep eutectic solvent for green extraction of bixin compound

Journal of Ionic Liquids
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are ionic liquid alternatives that replace volatile and flammable organic solvents. DESs are formed by hydrogen bond interaction between the hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and the hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA).

Plasma fatty acid profile in dairy cows associated with the inclusion of annatto in their diet

Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2020
The objective of this study was to evaluate the plasma lipid profile and plasma fatty acids of dairy cows receiving diets supplemented with annatto. A total of 32 Holstein cows (550 kg), distributed in a completely randomized design, were allocated to ...

From plant to fabric: Environmental opportunities associated with annatto dye for sustainable development in the textile industry

Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 3, Page 333-353, June 2026.
Abstract Natural dyes are compounds that occur naturally in several organisms and are classified based on chemical structure and application method. The literature cites several natural dyes used in industrial transformation processes. Annatto dye is used in the food industry, and its biological pigment is extracted from the annatto seed. However, this

Bioconversion of carotenoids into high‐value crocins using a marine sponge carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3230-3246, June 2026.
Summary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites

Optical Manipulation of Multiferroic Phases in BiFeO3 Thin Films

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 7, 7 April 2026.
At the strain‐driven morphotropic phase boundary, optical control over the multiferroic rhombohedral and tetragonal phase mixture is demonstrated using above‐bandgap light illumination. The photoinduced charge carriers modify the electrostatic environment and induce the conversion into a single tetragonal phase.

Topical Bixin Confers NRF2-Dependent Protection Against Photodamage and Hair Graying in Mouse Skin

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Environmental exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes acute photodamage, premature aging, and skin cancer, attributable to UV-induced genotoxic, oxidative, and inflammatory stress. The transcription factor NRF2 [nuclear factor erythroid 2 (E2)

Treatment with Bixin-Loaded Polymeric Nanoparticles Prevents Cigarette Smoke-Induced Acute Lung Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Mice

Antioxidants, 2022
The use of annatto pigments has been evaluated as a therapeutic strategy in animal models of several health disorders. Beneficial effects were generally attributed to the inhibition of oxidative stress.

Manipulating Ferroelectricity Without Electrical Bias: A Perspective

Advanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, April 2026.
Alternatives to electrical bias to control ferroelectric polarization are highly desired for the development of ferroelectric‐based applications. The polarizing role of chemically engineered surfaces, the impact of chemical substitution and mechanical pressure, and light‐induced effects on the final polarization state are highlighted in this short ...
