Assessment of the Use of Infrared Laser for Dynamic Laser Speckle (DLS) Technique
Dynamic laser speckle (DLS) analysis is a very sensitive technique to measure biological activity within samples. In agriculture, the technique is applied to monitor seed germination, but external light, water content, and pigments affect the ...

Plant Flavonoids: Chemical Characteristics and Biological Activity
In recent years, more attention has been paid to natural sources of antioxidants. Flavonoids are natural substances synthesized in several parts of plants that exhibit a high antioxidant capacity. They are a large family, presenting several classes based

Human hair pigmentation – biological aspects [PDF]
SynopsisSkin and hair colour contribute significantly to our overall visual appearance and to social/sexual communication. Despite their shared origins in the embryologic neural crest, the hair follicle and epidermal pigmentary units occupy distinct, although open, cutaneous compartments. They can be distinguished principally on the basis of the former’
