Selective inhibition of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases : phenotypic effects on shoot branching [PDF]

, 2009
Members of the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase family catalyse the oxidative cleavage of carotenoids at various chain positions, leading to the formation of a wide range of apocarotenoid signalling molecules.

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

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.

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.

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 ...
