Introduction Skin is the largest organ in the body. As the primary interface between the body and its external environment, it serves as a living, protective envelope that prevents the entry of foreign chemicals and mi- crobes, as well as preventing the evaporative loss of body fluids and ...
. The regenerated silk fibroin, silk fibroin from posterior silk gland and frozen sections of rat skin were directly observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy (CLSM) (ZEISS LSM200, ZEISS Observer Z1, Lumen Dynamics X-cite 120Q) at 555, 488 and 405 nm to determine their autofluorescence ...

similarities in characteristics, for example, yellow skin, black eyes and black hair, short and flat noses, which make them hard to be distinguished by appearance. moreover, east asian people use similar languages and words, for example, chinese characters are shared in japanese, and also ...
Samples comprised either blood spots collected on Whatman grade 2 filter paper strips (Whatman plc, Maidstone, UK), obtained by puncturing the caudal sinus below the cloaca, or shed skin samples in cases where animals were in the process of sloughing when captured. Both sample types were air ...

clarified by recent studies that sericin has many physiological ef- fects, such as an anti-oxidative effect, a cancer pre- vention and a dermatitis improvement, etc.2–6 Further- more, the practical physical properties of the sericin make it a promising material for the field of medical ...
The field of Membrane Protein Structural Biology has grown significantly since its first landmark in 1985 with the first three-dimensional atomic resolution structure of a membrane protein. Nearly twenty-six years later, the crystal structure of the beta2 adrenergic receptor in complex with G protein...
However, it has noticeable similarities with frog skin secretion antimicrobial peptides, and more specifically (40%) with the brevinin family [36], [37]. Both types of peptides include a C-terminal cationic loop, 6 amino acids for thanatin and 5 amino acids for brevinins, delineated by ...
3. Discussion Tyrosinase is a rate-limiting, copper-containing enzyme that controls the production of melanin in the human body, which can lead to a variety of skin disorders when overproduced [35]. Many natural compounds including quercetin, hydroquinone, chalcones, stilbenes, kojic acid, aloe...
