PMEL: A PIGMENT CELL-SPECIFIC MODEL FOR FUNCTIONAL AMYLOID FORMATION

Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research, 2013
PMEL is a pigment cell‐specific protein responsible for the formation of fibrillar sheets within the pigment organelle, the melanosome. The fibrillar sheets serve as a template upon which melanins polymerize as they are synthesized.

Coaxial Melt Electrowriting

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Coaxial melt electrowriting is established to produce dual‐property microfibers with diameters spanning 1.6–29.2 µm. Stable coaxial laminar flow is preserved under electrohydrodynamic thinning, enabling controlled binary and gradient material switching within individual continuous fibers.

An AI‐Enabled All‐In‐One Visual, Proximity, and Tactile Perception Multimodal Sensor

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Targeting integrated multimodal perception of robots, an AI‐enabled all‐in‐one multimodal sensor is proposed. This sensor is capable of perceiving three types of modalities, including vision, proximity, and tactility. By toggling an ultraviolet light and adjusting the camera focus, it switches smoothly between multiple perceptual modalities, enabling ...

Changes in Structure of Head Feathers of Wild Plumage Type: Male Mallard Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos var. domesticus) Following Seasonal Plumage Changes

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2005
Seasonal changes occur in the plumage of male mallard ducks, and this phenomenon is referred to as seasonal dimorphism of the plumage. However, no information is available, especially morphological, about the mechanisms that control these changes.

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.
