Low Sunscreen Awareness and Misconceptions in Skin of Colour With Acne‐Related Post‐Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: A Cross‐Sectional Study Highlighting the Need for Targeted Education

open access: yesAustralasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a frequent sequela of acne in patients with skin of colour (SOC). While sunscreen is widely recommended for PIH prevention, little is known about real‐world sunscreen practices in this group. This study aimed to evaluate sunscreen use, barriers and factors influencing adherence

The Circadian Clock Gene Bmal1 Controls Thyroid Hormone-Mediated Spectral Identity and Cone Photoreceptor Function

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Circadian clocks regulate various aspects of photoreceptor physiology, but their contribution to photoreceptor development and function is unclear. Cone photoreceptors are critical for color vision.

The evolution of insect visual opsin genes with specific consideration of the influence of ocelli and life history traits

open access: yesBMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background Visual opsins are expressed in the compound eyes and ocelli of insects and enable light detection. Three distinct phylogenetic groups of visual opsins are found in insects, named long (LW), short (SW) and ultraviolet (UV) wavelength sensitive ...

C-opsin Expressing Photoreceptors in Echinoderms [PDF]

open access: yesIntegrative and Comparative Biology, 2013
Today's progress in molecular analysis and, in particular, the increased availability of genome sequences have enabled us to investigate photoreceptor cells (PRCs) in organisms that were formerly inaccessible to experimental manipulation. Our studies of marine non-chordate deuterostomes thus aim to bridge a gap of knowledge regarding the evolution of ...

GRKs and arrestins: Nomenclature and functions in GPCR‐dependent and ‐independent signalling

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) and arrestins play a critical role in the regulation of GPCR signalling. Historic names of mammalian GRKs were replaced by systematic ones in the 1990s; however, both kinds of names are currently in use for mammalian arrestins.

Eyes with basic dorsal and specific ventral regions in the glacial Apollo, Parnassius glacialis (Papilionidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Recent studies on butterflies have indicated that their colour vision system is almost species specific. To address the question of how this remarkable diversity evolved, we investigated the eyes of the glacial Apollo, Parnassius glacialis, a living ...

Roles of ER Membrane Protein Complex in Protein Biogenesis and Quality Control in the Lung and Beyond

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex (EMC) is an evolutionarily conserved, multi‐subunit transmembrane protein complex crucial to membrane protein biogenesis and cellular protein quality control. This review systematically examines the structure, functions and disease‐associated regulatory mechanisms of EMC across multiple organ systems ...

Broad-Band Activatable White-Opsin

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2015
Currently, the use of optogenetic sensitization of retinal cells combined with activation/inhibition has the potential to be an alternative to retinal implants that would require electrodes inside every single neuron for high visual resolution. However, clinical translation of optogenetic activation for restoration of vision suffers from the drawback ...
