A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Trypan Blue: Effect on Retinal Pigment Epithelial and Neurosensory Retinal Cells

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2005
To evaluate the toxicity of trypan blue on retinal cells in vitro.Human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19) and rat neurosensory retinal cells (R28) were grown in tissue culture and treated with four different concentrations of trypan blue (0.1%, 0.05%, 0.025%, and 0.0125%), in combination with surgical light exposure (0, 5, or 10 minutes).

Age‐related differences in hydroxychloroquine‐associated adverse events: A pharmacovigilance study based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This real‐world pharmacovigilance study utilizes FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data (2004–2024) to characterize age‐related disparities in hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)‐associated adverse events (AEs), addressing gaps in age‐stratified risk assessment. Methods Disproportionality analysis (reporting odds ratios, RORs) and parametric Weibull

Appropriately differentiated ARPE-19 cells regain phenotype and gene expression profiles similar to those of native RPE cells. [PDF]

, 2017
PurposeThe RPE cell line ARPE-19 provides a dependable and widely used alternative to native RPE. However, replication of the native RPE phenotype becomes more difficult because these cells lose their specialized phenotype after multiple passages ...
