Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

A model for de novo pigmentation of amelanotic retinal pigment epithelial cells

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) cells perform critical functions in the visual cycle. Their melanin pigmentation, which is organized into specialized compartments – melanosomes, is highly critical for proper vision. A chemical method to induce pigmentation in a non‐pigmented model of ARPE‐19 cells was applied using L‐DOPA as a ...

Characterization of retinal pigment epithelium layer in healthy and diseased retinas with high‐resolution adaptive optics transscleral flood illumination imaging

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is critical in the pathophysiology of retinal diseases, such as age‐related macular degeneration. Adaptive optics transscleral flood illumination (AO‐TFI) offers rapid, detailed morphometric characterization of the RPE layer.
