Photothermal bubble: Dynamics, manipulation, and applications
Droplet, EarlyView.As a versatile platform for bubble manipulation, photothermal techniques empower diverse operations: planar translation by scanning the laser spot, sustained periodic bouncing from competing thermal and hydrodynamic flows, and even guided 3D trajectories achieved by tailoring the heating configuration.

Chemical Characterization of Hair Melanins in Various Coat-Color Mutants of Mice
, 1995 Mammalian melanins exist in two chemically distinct forms: the brown to black eumelanins and the yellow to reddish pheomelanins. Melanogenesis is influenced by a number of genes, the levels of whose products determine the quantity and quality of the ...

Segmental Hair Analysis of Diphenhydramine and Cyclizine Following a Single Dose
Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.A single oral dose of diphenhydramine and cyclizine can be quantified in human head hair for a minimum of 5 months and, in certain cases, for up to 1 year following intake. Among 12 study participants, the measured concentrations ranged from 0 to 610 pg/mg within 1 year post‐intake.

Biochemistry and biosynthesis of insect pigments
European Journal of Entomology, 2014 The functional role and commercial importance of insect pigments have been studied for well over a century. They are classified into those synthesized by insects, which include anthraquinones, aphins, pterins, tetrapyrroles, ommochromes, melanins and ...

SPECTROSCOPIC FEATURES OF NATIVE AND BLEACHED OPIO-MELANINS
, 1995 Opioid peptides can be converted by tyrosinase into melanin-like compounds, in which the peptide moiety is retained. Such pigments, named opio-melanins, exhibit a characteristic absorption spectrum with a maximum at about 330 nm and a different ...

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.The herein‐developed tyrosinase model complex enables the transfer of tyrosinase‐like catalytic oxygenation activity into artificial systems. Therefore, it enables the use of molecular oxygen for oxygenation and oxidation of phenolic substrates at room temperature.

Hydrogel Adhesives for Gastrointestinal Perforation: Design Principles and Applications
Exploration, EarlyView.There are few reviews on hydrogel adhesives that comprehensively highlight the design principles, factors affecting adhesion, and applications for gastrointestinal (GI) perforation repair. This review outlines the mainstream design approaches of hydrogel adhesives via covalent and noncovalent molecular interactions, illustrating the underlying adhesive
