Cutaneous Pigmentary Changes During Setmelanotide Therapy: Dermoscopic and Confocal Findings in Two Patients

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Setmelanotide is a melanocortin‐4 receptor agonist approved for the treatment of rare forms of genetic obesity. Through off‐target activation of the melanocortin‐1 receptor, it may induce cutaneous pigmentation changes; however, data regarding its effects on melanocytic nevi remain limited.

Beyond Skin and Eyes: The Medical and Social Burden of Oculocutaneous Albinism in Africa: A Narrative Review

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

Genetic, structural, and functional characterization of allomelanin from black yeast Exophiala viscosa, a chassis for fungal melanin production

open access: yesApplied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Melanized fungi are known for their remarkable resilience to environmental stress, largely attributed to the protective properties of melanin. In this study, we establish the black yeast Exophiala viscosa as a non-pathogenic, genetically tractable model ...

Nail Toxicities Associated With Anticancer Therapies in Children

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nail toxicities are a frequent yet often underrecognized component of dermatologic adverse events in children receiving anticancer therapies. Both conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy and newer targeted agents can affect the nail matrix, nail bed and periungual tissues, producing a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations that range from ...

An investigation into the role of autoimmunity in vitiligo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Vitiligo is an acquired depigmenting disorder characterised by the loss of functional melanocytes from the cutaneous epidermis. A role for autoimmunity is supported by the presence of circulating antibodies and T lymphocytes which react against ...

UV-visible spectrophotometry of melanin extracts.

open access: yes, 2014
Melanin extracts from control conidia or conidia recovered from cultures grown in the presence of DOPA-melanin (kojic acid or glyphosate) or DHN-melanin (pyroquilon, tricyclazol or carpropamid) inhibitors were examined under UV-visible spectrophotometry.

Quantifying Dehydration Effects of Porcine Vocal Fold Attenuation With Optical Coherence Tomography

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The purpose of this study is to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to characterize the effect of dehydration on the optical attenuation coefficient of porcine vocal fold (VF) tissue. The optical attenuation coefficient tissue decreased linearly with dehydration, dropping by approximately 0.08 mm−1 for every 1% increase in mass loss.
