Melanogenesis is a process to synthesize melanin, which is a primary responsible for the
pigmentation of human skin, eye and hair. Although numerous enzymatic catalyzed and …

Significance: When a cutaneous injury occurs, the wound heals via a dynamic series of
physiological events, including coagulation, granulation tissue formation, re …

Melanins are pigment molecules that determine the skin, eye, and hair color of the human
subject to its amount, quality, and distribution. Melanocytes synthesize melanin and provide …

The self‐assembly of several classes of amphiphilic peptides is reviewed, and selected
applications are discussed. We discuss recent work on the self‐assembly of lipopeptides …

Numerous extracellular proteins and glycosaminoglycans (GAG s) undergo limited
enzymatic cleavage resulting in the release of fragments exerting biological activities, which …

Over the last decade, algae have been explored as alternative and sustainable protein
sources for a balanced diet and more recently, as a potential source of algal-derived …

Marine invertebrates, such as oysters, mussels, clams, scallop, jellyfishes, squids, prawns,
sea cucumbers and sea squirts, are consumed as foods. These edible marine invertebrates …

Peptides are known to have diverse biological roles, most prominently as
signaling/regulatory molecules in a broad variety of physiological processes including …

The collagen production of human dermal and corneal fibroblasts in contact with solutions of
the peptide amphiphile (PA) C16–KTTKS is investigated and related to its self-assembly into …

Objective As skin ages, impaired extracellular matrix (ECM) protein synthesis and increased
action of degradative enzymes manifest as atrophy, wrinkling and laxity. There is mounting …
