Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 18, 27 April 2026.
Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...

Equipped for success: genomes and metabolomes of the European Amanita muscaria are conserved in its novel South African range

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1863-1883, May 2026.
Summary Plants and soils have been moved around the world for centuries, but invasive mushrooms receive scant attention. The Amanita muscaria species complex was introduced to South Africa in the context of forestry, but its origins, ecology and recent evolution are unstudied. We sequenced the genomes of 24 Northern and Southern Hemisphere A. muscaria,

Haplotype‐Based Analysis of OCA2 Variants in Oculocutaneous Albinism

Pigment Cell &Melanoma Research, Volume 39, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study defines multi‐allele haplotypes, comprised of rare disease variants combined with common eQTL, sQTL and GWAS variants, for oculocutaneous albinism type 2 (OCA2). These haplotypes have implications for variant pathogenicity assessments and phenotypic variability.

In Vivo Measurement of UVA Protection Factor (ISO 24442:2011) Across 38 Different SPF 50 and SPF 50+ Sunscreens Reveals High Heterogeneity and Limitations in the Level of Protection

Photodermatology, Photoimmunology &Photomedicine, Volume 42, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background/Purpose The UVB and UVA components of terrestrial solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) cause acute and chronic damage to skin. These adverse effects can be reduced by sunscreen application. The sun protection factor (SPF) is primarily a measure of UVB protection against erythema and does not quantify protection from UVA, which is the ...
