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 ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Fine‐Tuning NIR‐Absorbing BODIPYs for Photoacoustic Detection of Hypochlorous Ion (OCl−)
Chemistry – An Asian Journal, Volume 20, Issue 6, March 17, 2025.High selectivity for hypochlorous ion over other competing reactive oxygen species was achieved by optimizing different regioisomers of conjugation‐extended, near‐infrared‐absorbing BODIPYs for photoacoustic imaging. Abstract Highly reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) play crucial roles in various pathological conditions.

New solvents for extracting gallic acid from chestnut shells: deep eutectic solvents
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) shell, a byproduct of chestnut processing, is a valuable source of phenolic compounds that have a range of industrial applications. This study investigated the optimization of gallic acid extraction from the outer shell of the chestnut using ultrasound‐assisted extraction (UAE) and deep eutectic solvents (DES).
