Melanoma, Melanin, and Melanogenesis: The Yin and Yang Relationship

Radomir M. Slominski et al.

Summary: Melanin plays a vital role in protecting the skin from harmful UV radiation, but its presence may also contribute to the malignant transformation of melanocytes. The biosynthesis of melanin is regulated by sun exposure and hormonal factors, influencing melanoma development, progression, and treatment in diverse ways.

MCD Diet Rat Model Induces Alterations in Zinc and Iron during NAFLD Progression from Steatosis to Steatohepatitis

Giuseppina Palladini et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of a methionine-choline-deficient diet on zinc and iron levels in the serum and liver, as well as their relationships with matrix metalloproteinases and their modulators, and hepatic fatty acids. The findings showed that the diet led to a decrease in serum and hepatic zinc levels, an increase in serum and hepatic iron levels, and alterations in hepatic matrix metalloproteinases and fatty acids.

Autofluorescent Biomolecules in Diptera: From Structure to Metabolism and Behavior

Anna C. Croce et al.

Summary: Light-based phenomena in insects have been the focus of researchers and have various applications. In Diptera, biomolecules with autofluorescence can be used to study biomechanical and metabolic features. Optical studies in dipteran species, including mosquitoes and fruit flies, have potential practical applications for pest and vector control.

Imaging and spectral analysis of autofluorescence distribution in larval head structures of mosquito vectors

Francesca Scolari et al.

Summary: Autofluorescence in the larval heads of Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens mosquitoes was explored for the first time. Differences in the localization and spectra of autofluorescence signals were observed between the two species, which could be related to their biology.

Fundus autofluorescence imaging

Steffen Schmitz-Valckenberg et al.

Summary: Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging is a powerful tool for understanding pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostics, and prognosis of retinal diseases. Recent developments in FAF imaging techniques have expanded the spectrum of applications and provided new opportunities for evaluating the efficacy of interventional strategies in chorio-retinal diseases.

Effect of cage size on Aedes albopictus wing length, survival and egg production

Dubravka Pudar et al.

Summary: This study compared the influence of three differently sized cages for Aedes albopictus mass-rearing, finding that smaller cages led to better reproductive outcomes. The results showed variations in wing length, adult survival, and egg production over 20 generations, with C1 cage demonstrating the best performance.

Obtaining chitin, chitosan and their melanin complexes from insects

Adelya Khayrova et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a significant increase in interest in insects as a source of valuable biologically active substances. Insects can serve as an alternative source of chitin, which can make up to 40% of their exoskeleton. Chitosan and melanin can synergistically enhance each other's biological activity, providing a wide range of potential applications.

Yellow-y Functions in Egg Melanization and Chorion Morphology of the Asian Tiger Mosquito, Aedes albopictus

Mi Young Noh et al.

Summary: The study investigated the function of the yellow gene yellow-y in eggshell melanization of Asian tiger mosquito eggs. Results showed that AalY-y plays a crucial role in melanization and outer-endochorion morphology of the eggs, contributing to desiccation resistance and proper development.
