Human melanopsin forms a pigment maximally sensitive to blue light (λmax ≈ 479 nm) supporting activation of Gq/11 and Gi/o signalling cascades

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013
A subset of mammalian retinal ganglion cells expresses an opsin photopigment (melanopsin, Opn4) and is intrinsically photosensitive. The human retina contains melanopsin, but the literature lacks a direct investigation of its spectral sensitivity or G ...

Cool Kitchen: Processing Starch and Eggshell Powder into Sustainable Coatings for Passive Daytime Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A food‐grade cooling composite made from starch and recycled eggshell powder offers a scalable, ultra‐low‐cost solution for passive daytime radiative cooling. Easily prepared using basic kitchen tools, this material empowers communities, even in areas with limited infrastructure, to stay cooler during worsening summer heat waves.

Serum zinc level in vitiligo: A case-control study

open access: yesIndian Journal of Dermatology, 2018
Background: Vitiligo is characterized by the idiopathic destruction of melanocytes, probably of autoimmune etiology, that results in depigmented patches of skin and mucosal surfaces. Oxidative stress may contribute to the pathogenesis of vitiligo.

On Cytochrome, a Respiratory Pigment, Common to Animals, Yeast, and Higher Plants

open access: yes, 1925
Under the names myohaematin and histohaematin MacMunn (1884-1886) described a respiratory pigment, which he found in muscles and other tissues of representatives of almost all the orders of the animal kingdom.

Pigment Melanin: Pattern for Iris Recognition

open access: yes, 2009
Recognition of iris based on Visible Light (VL) imaging is a difficult problem because of the light reflection from the cornea. Nonetheless, pigment melanin provides a rich feature source in VL, unavailable in Near-Infrared (NIR) imaging.
