Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Bridging Stability and Reactivity: Novel Dinucleating Ligand With Rigid Backbone Stabilizes a Cu2O2 Side‐On Peroxido Structure

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
The herein‐developed tyrosinase model complex enables the transfer of tyrosinase‐like catalytic oxygenation activity into artificial systems. Therefore, it enables the use of molecular oxygen for oxygenation and oxidation of phenolic substrates at room temperature.

Solubilized melanin suppresses macrophage function

FEBS Open Bio, 2019
Melanin‐producing Cryptococcus and Aspergillus are highly invasive and can suppress or escape the immune system of the host. Since non‐melanin‐producing strains do not affect the immune system, melanin may play a role in immune system suppression ...

Bacterial melanin promotes recovery after sciatic nerve injury in rats

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
Bacterial melanin, obtained from the mutant strain of Bacillus Thuringiensis, has been shown to promote recovery after central nervous system injury. It is hypothesized, in this study, that bacterial melanin can promote structural and functional recovery

Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.
