Genetic Diversity, Adaptation, Wild Introgression, and Coat Color Mutation of Golden Yak

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity, adaptation, wild introgression, and coat color mutation of golden yak from two populations on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau. ABSTRACT The golden yak lives on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau with a golden coat and adapts to high altitudes and strong ultraviolet environment. The golden coat is a prominent phenotype in many domesticated species,

Pt‐TiO2 mesoporous nanosystem co‐delivering phlorezin enables synergistic sonodynamic‐chemoimmunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma via directly targeting DDX5 and metabolic reprogramming modulation

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), ranking as the third leading cause of cancer‐related mortality globally, continues to pose significant therapeutic challenges. Here, we developed an innovative nanosystem, Phl@PT, based on Pt‐TiO2 nanoparticles for the co‐delivery of Phlorezin, presenting a novel approach for HCC treatment through sonodynamic ...

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Exploring the Chemical Complexity and Toxicological Behaviour of Semi‐permanent Make‐Up Pigments: A Systematic Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semi‐permanent make‐up (SPMU), or micropigmentation, involves implanting pigments into the dermal layer of the skin for cosmetic enhancement. Unlike topical cosmetics, which are rapidly cleared from the body, SPMU pigments persist in living tissues, raising unique toxicological considerations.

Melanogenesis inhibition by tetrahydropterines

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2009
There is controversy in the literature concerning the action of tetrahydropterines on the enzyme tyrosinase and on melanogenesis in general. In this study, we demonstrate that tetrahydropterines can inhibit melanogenesis in several ways: i) by non-enzymatic inhibition involving purely chemical reactions reducing o-dopaquinone to L-dopa, ii) by acting ...

Bio‐guided fractionation of (9Z)‐5,8,11‐trihydroxyoctadec‐9‐enoic acid from Abelmoschus sagittifolius root as a potent α‐glucosidase inhibitor: An integrated in vitro and in silico study

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Abelmoschus sagittifolius stands out as a valuable medicinal source for developing functional food targeting type 2 diabetes. This study investigated the α‐glucosidase inhibitory potential of an active fraction obtained from A. sagittifolius roots (ASR), enriched in (9Z)‐5,8,11‐trihydroxyoctadec‐9‐enoic acid (OA), using both enzyme ...

Dynamics of Melanogenesis Intermediates.

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1993
The course of melanogenesis in (malignant) melanocytes is determined by several relatively independent metabolic processes such as tyrosine uptake and compartmentation, the activity of tyrosinase, and the capacity of melanosomes to produce and store melanin. There is experimental evidence that tyrosine is transported across the cell membrane with a Na(+

Cutaneous Pigmentary Changes During Setmelanotide Therapy: Dermoscopic and Confocal Findings in Two Patients

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Setmelanotide is a melanocortin‐4 receptor agonist approved for the treatment of rare forms of genetic obesity. Through off‐target activation of the melanocortin‐1 receptor, it may induce cutaneous pigmentation changes; however, data regarding its effects on melanocytic nevi remain limited.
