Pheomelanin pigment remnants mapped in fossils of an extinct mammal [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 AbstractRecent progress has been made in paleontology with respect to resolving pigmentation in fossil material. Morphological identification of fossilized melanosomes has been one approach, while a second methodology using chemical imaging and spectroscopy has also provided critical information particularly concerning eumelanin (black pigment) residue.

VisNIR pigment mapping and re-rendering of an experimental painting [PDF]
, 2021 Pigment mapping allows the classification and estimation of the abundances of pigments in paintings. The information learned becomes extremely important for conservators, who are then able to decide the best strategies in the conservation of the artefacts.

Human iPSC-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelium: A Model System for Prioritizing and Functionally Characterizing Causal Variants at AMD Risk Loci [PDF]
Stem Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: We evaluate whether human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium (iPSC-RPE) cells can be used to prioritize and functionally characterize causal variants at age-related macular degeneration (AMD) risk loci. We generated

Genetic Mapping and Biochemical Basis of Yellow Feather Pigmentation in Budgerigars [PDF]
Cell, 2017 Parrot feathers contain red, orange, and yellow polyene pigments called psittacofulvins. Budgerigars are parrots that have been extensively bred for plumage traits during the last century, but the underlying genes are unknown. Here we use genome-wide association mapping and gene-expression analysis to map the Mendelian blue locus, which abolishes ...

Remote multispectral imaging with PRISMS and XRF analysis of Tang Tomb paintings [PDF]
, 2011 PRISMS (Portable Remote Imaging System for Multispectral Scanning) is a multispectral/hyperspectral imaging system designed for flexible in situ imaging of wall paintings at high resolution (tens of microns) over a large range of distances (less than a ...
