Evolution of the eyes of vipers with and without infrared-sensing pit organs [PDF]
, 2019 We examined lens and brille transmittance, photoreceptors, visual pigments, and visual opsin gene sequences of viperid snakes with and without infrared-sensing pit organs. Ocular media transmittance is high in both groups.

Sequence and expression analysis of bovine pigment epithelium-derived factor
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Structure and Expression, 1998 PEDF, a member of the serpin superfamily of proteins related through their highly conserved folded conformation, has neurotrophic properties, including promotion of neurite-outgrowth and neuronal survival. Previously, we have purified and characterized PEDF protein from extracellular matrixes of bovine eyes.

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Tomato variety and processing impact lycopene bioaccessibility. Tomato emulsions with high pectin content decreased the in vitro lipid digestion and negatively affected lycopene bioaccessibility. High pressure homogenization may enhance the release of lycopene into emulsion oil droplets, but it may also reduce the transfer of lycopene into the micellar
