Effect of Nanoparticle Distribution on Photothermal Absorption in Binary Mixtures of Colloidal Supraballs

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research
Melanin is ubiquitous in nature, and how the arrangement and concentration of melanin affect its optical and thermal properties aids in understanding the role of melanin in natural systems and technological applications.

Fixed Solar Eruption: A Case Report

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fixed eruption is characterized by recurrent lesions at identical anatomical sites after exposure to a trigger. Although most cases are drug‐induced, ultraviolet (UV) radiation has also been reported as a causative factor. We report a case of fixed solar eruption diagnosed by histopathology and 308 nm excimer light phototesting.

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 ...

Paediatric Melanonychia: Diagnosis and Management

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longitudinal melanonychia (LM) in children presents unique diagnostic and management challenges that cannot be adequately addressed by applying adult‐based criteria. Unlike in adults, there are no validated clinical, dermoscopic or histopathologic criteria for predicting nail unit melanoma in the paediatric population.

Eczema‐Like Amelanotic Melanoma: A Diagnostic Challenge

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amelanotic melanoma (AM) is a rare and aggressive variant of cutaneous melanoma characterised by the absence of pigmentation, often leading to delayed diagnosis due to its ability to mimic benign inflammatory or neoplastic conditions. We report the case of a 68‐year‐old woman presenting with a slowly enlarging, erythematous, mildly scaling ...

Divergent Responses of Fungal Communities to Vegetation Structural Complexity in Degraded Roadside Slopes Across Climatic Gradients

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how climate and vegetation structural complexity jointly shape fungal communities is essential for effective roadside slope restoration. To address this, we examined restoration effects on fungal diversity, community composition, and ecological networks across three climatically distinct regions: dry‐hot valley, subalpine, and ...

Antiradiation properties of melanin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Aim: to examine the therapeutic efficiency of melanin administered to mice after irradiation at lethal and sublethal doses. Material and methods: Survival and hematological states were studied on CD-1 mice receiving on acute or fractionated whole-body ...

Spatiospectral Photoacoustic Microscopy With Gain‐Switched Ti:Sapphire Laser for High‐Accuracy Molecular Dynamics Imaging

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Spatiospectral photoacoustic microscopy is enabled by stable, wavelength‐tunable dual‐pulse excitation from a gain‐switched Ti:sapphire laser. Intrinsically synchronized 532‐nm and NIR‐I pulses provide single‐scan, co‐registered mapping of oxygen saturation and indocyanine green dynamics in vivo.

Efficacy and Safety of Small‐Spot 755 nm Picosecond Laser‐Induced Optical Breakdown for Novel Photomechanical Skin Ablation in Asian Patients

open access: yesLasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Conventional ablative and photothermal lasers are commonly used to treat superficial pigmentary lesions but often induce thermal injury and post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), particularly in Asian skin. Picosecond 755‐nm alexandrite lasers with diffractive lens arrays (DLA) create laser‐induced optical breakdown (LIOB ...
