New research into the anatomy of blue sharks (Prionace glauca) reveals a unique nanostructure in their skin that produces ...

The biosynthetic melanin nanoparticles exhibited excellent biocompatibility, good stability, and negligible toxicity. “They had strong absorption in the near-infrared region and higher photothermal ...

As more brands focus on efficacy and safety in skin of color, the product benefits are multiplying. We explore this long-overdue development.

Researchers conclude that these nanoparticles show strong potential for use in cosmetic products designed to treat pigmentation issues and protect skin cells from oxidative stress. For more ...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a severe genetic disorder primarily caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 genes, which encode polycystins 1 and 2, affecting over 12 million ...

Melanin-like nanoparticles (MNPs) have recently emerged as valuable agents in antioxidant therapy due to their excellent biocompatibility and potent capacity to scavenge various reactive oxygen ...

Melanin-like nanoparticles (MNPs) are effective agents in antioxidant therapy (Sun et al, 2019), due to their strong ability to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the authors set out to ...

We reveal that N-cadherin targeted melanin nanoparticles reverse EndoMT by downregulating an N-cadherin dependent RhoA activation pathway. Overall, this approach offers a different prospect to treat ...

The skin healing cream was developed when scientists created the synthetic melanin engineered nanoparticles.

Northwestern University researchers created a synthetic melanin cream that protects and heals skin from sun and environmental damage by scavenging free radicals. It has potential applications in sun ...
