Solubility of Melanins [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1952
IN further attempts to find a solvent for melanin which would be of use in histological work, the following substances have been found to dissolve, in the cold, the pigments extracted from the ink sac of Sepia officinalis and melanoma tissue, and those prepared from adrenaline and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa): ethylene glycol monomethyl ether ...

Photodynamics of Melanin Radicals: Contribution to Photoprotection by Melanin

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, 2022
AbstractThe mechanism of very efficient relaxation of the melanin‐photoexcited states, responsible for the photoprotective action of the pigment, remains a subject for intense investigation. The most recent study by C. Grieco, F. Kohl, and B. Kohler, entitled “Ultrafast radical photogeneration pathways in eumelanin,” addresses key issues of melanin ...

Methods in Melanin Research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Despite intense research efforts, melanins can be still regarded as the most enigmatic pigments/biopolymers found in Nature. This state of affairs is due to the adverse physicochemical properties; the instability to acids, alkali, oxidizing agents and UV

Transdermal Delivery of an mRNA‐Liposome Vaccine via Dissolving Microneedle to Preserve Vaccine Activity and Enhance Immune Activation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An mRNA‐liposome vaccine via dissolving microneedles (ML‐DMN) enables efficient skin‐targeted delivery while preserving mRNA integrity and allowing sustained antigen expression. Unlike intramuscular (IM) injection, ML‐DMN engages skin‐resident immune cells, activates antigen‐presenting cells (APCs), and induces strong T cell and cytokine responses at ...
