Melanin in the rat brain

, 1976
Melanin was measured in various parts of the rat brain by a spectrophotofluorometric assay. This method could detect natural, Sepia melanin as well as melanin synthesized from L-DOPA.

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.

Research progress on peptides that inhibit melanin synthesis

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Melanin produced by melanocytes, primarily determines human skin color and protects against ultraviolet radiation. However, excessive melanin deposition can lead to skin conditions such as freckles, age spots, and moles, potentially causing aesthetic ...

MIT/TFE family transcription factors, Mitf and Tfec, redundantly promote pigment cell differentiation and retinal epithelium pigmentation in teleosts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transcription factors of the MIT/TFE family—mitfa, mitfb, and tfec—play essential roles in specifying pigment cells derived from neural crest cells in vertebrates. In teleosts, which possess multiple pigment cell types, these factors exhibit partially redundant but largely distinct functions across different pigment lineages.

Effect of Cu2+and Zn2+ ions on quinidine, disopyramideand metoprolol interaction with melanin in vitro

Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, 2009
The binding of drugs to melanin may have significant pharmacologic consequences. In spite of many investigations into the nature of drug binding to melanin, the exact mechanism of this interaction remains unknown.

High temporal-resolution transcriptome landscape reveals the biological process and regulatory genes of melanin deposition in breast muscle of Silkie chickens during embryonic development

BMC Genomics
Background Abnormal deposition of melanin in skeletal muscle is an interesting phenomenon and the Silkie is the most typical example. Melanin deposition involves multiple steps such as neural crest cell migration, melanocyte differentiation, melanosome ...

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.

Design and Application of Natural Melanin-Based Functional Hybrids

, 2020
Three types of natural melanin-based functional hybrids were designed based on the bio-inspired properties of natural melanin. These hybrids were applied for the anti-UV polymer, water treatment and intelligent biomedical devices.
