The present invention relates generally to a methodology of determining the concentration of the types of melanin, either eumelanin or pheomelanin, in the skin wherein the process for such determination is non-invasive and based on digital signal and image analysis of hyperspectral sensing and multi...
Melanocytes are one of important constituents of skin cells, are of embryonic neural crest origin, have dendritic protrusions, and belong to gland cells. The synthesized melanin is secreted into keratinocytes via the dendritic protrusions, and is discharged from the body with shedding of keratinocytes...
produced. Research indicates that when employed as a sunscreen, melanin provides better uVA protection and requires lower usage concentrations than other available sunscreens. Its safety is supported through studies conducted with radioactive melanin, which showed no penetration through human skin. ...
Melanin absorbs ultraviolet radiation, which can damage DNA leading to skin cancer [13]. They also help to prevent premature aging of the skin [14]. Both melanized fungi and their melanin are new renewable potential biosorbents for removing heavy metals [15]. Fungal melanin contains a diversity...
