Efficacy of omega‐3 fatty acids as a functional food: a multifaceted approach to health reinforcement

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Omega‐3 fatty acids (omega‐3s) are polyunsaturated fatty acids linked with numerous health benefits. Omega‐3s exhibit multifaceted activities through various mechanisms. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) alleviates oxidative stress by lowering reactive oxygen species and improving oxidative stress in brain tissues and acts against neurodegenerative ...

Photomorphogenic and Biochemical Effects of Radiation and Nitrate Availability on the Red Alga Plocamium cartilagineum

open access: yesPlants
Non-photosynthetic photoreceptors detecting different wavelength ranges in the UV and visible region of spectra may trigger algal acclimation and homeostasis. We studied Plocamium cartilagineum responses based on the saturation of photosynthesis by Amber

Light source spectrum, brightness perception and visual performance in pedestrian environments: A review

open access: yes, 2005
This review considers the impact of light source spectral power distribution (SPD) on brightness perception and visual performance in mesopic conditions, with emphasis on the comparison of metal halide (MH) and high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps. Models of

Glycemic Control, Animal Protein Intake, and the Risk of Diabetic Retinopathy Progression Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective glycemic control and food consumption play crucial roles in modulating diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression. This observational longitudinal study explored the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and dietary patterns and their associations with the risk and progression of DR among 369 individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Underground roots monitor aboveground environment by sensing stem-piped light

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2016
Light is a critical environmental cue for plant growth and development. Plants actively monitor surrounding environments by sensing changes in light wavelength and intensity.

Ex Vivo Evaluation of Poly(Solketal Acrylate) Nanoparticles for Intravitreal Drug Delivery to the Posterior Eye Segment

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Nile Red‐loaded poly(solketal acrylate) nanoparticles enable fluorescence tracking and exhibit nontoxic profiles in retinal cells. Enhanced cellular uptake and deep retinal penetration after intravitreal injection highlight their excellent potential for targeted ocular drug delivery to the posterior segment of the eye.

Matching habitat choice could be brightness‐based instead of hue‐based in green‐brown polymorphic grasshoppers

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

In-Vivo Characterization of Healthy Retinal Pigment Epithelium and Photoreceptor Cells from AO-(T)FI Imaging

open access: yesVision
We provide an automated characterization of human retinal cells, i.e., RPE’s based on the non-invasive AO-TFI retinal imaging and PR’s based on the non-invasive AO-FI retinal imaging on a large-scale study involving 171 confirmed healthy eyes from 104 ...

Equivalence of background and bleaching desensitization in isolated rod photoreceptors of the larval tiger salamander. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Psychophysical experiments have shown an equivalence between sensitivity reduction by background light and by bleaches for the human scotopic system.
