Functionalized melanin for enhanced energy storage in aqueous and ionic liquid electrolytes
Communications ChemistryEumelanin is an interesting functional material for electrochemical applications due to its quinone/hydroquinone redox equilibrium. One major issue in the eumelanin film processing is the lack of solubility in polar solvents. In this study, the influence

A UV-Independent Topical Small-Molecule Approach for Melanin Production in Human Skin
Cell Reports, 2017 The presence of dark melanin (eumelanin) within human epidermis represents one of the strongest predictors of low skin cancer risk. Topical rescue of eumelanin synthesis, previously achieved in “redhaired” Mc1r-deficient mice, demonstrated significant ...

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Mottling is a widespread intra‐feather pattern present in many breeds of domestic chickens worldwide and inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. An amino acid substitution Arg332His in the EDNRB2 gene was previously reported as responsible for the mottling phenotype in several Japanese breeds of chickens.

Dominant Red Coat Color in Holstein Cattle Is Associated with a Missense Mutation in the Coatomer Protein Complex, Subunit Alpha (COPA) Gene. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Coat color in Holstein dairy cattle is primarily controlled by the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene, a central determinant of black (eumelanin) vs. red/brown pheomelanin synthesis across animal species. The major MC1R alleles in Holsteins are Dominant

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1706-1718, August 2026.Coloration serves several fitness‐related functions, including thermoregulation, immunity, social signaling, sexual selection, and predator avoidance. Consequently, color polymorphism can have a significant impact on a species’ interactions with its environment, including its relationships with predators, prey, and potential mates. The wood tiger moth (
