The following work describes the synthesis of new physical filters based on TiO2/SiO2 and
TiO2/Ag nanostructures. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were applied as control …

Exposure to organic ultraviolet (UV) filters has raised concerns due to their potential adverse
effects on environments. However, their toxic mechanisms on plants remain elusive. In this …

Given the growing harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation there is an urgent need to
develop effective strategies to prevent skin damages. Therefore, hydrogel or cotton and wool …

Objective The emergence of new human and environmental‐related toxicity data associated
with some common UV filters has catalysed growing interest in the inclusion of boosters and …

Ommatins, natural colorants found in cephalopods and arthropods, are biosynthesized from
tryptophan with uncyclized xanthommatin (Uc-Xa) as the key biosynthetic precursor. These …

The mining of genomes across life has unearthed a bounty of biosynthetic potential to
diverse molecules key to a biobased future. While the heterologous expression of metabolic …

Coloration is a complex phenotypic trait involving both physical and chemical processes at a
multiscale level, from molecules to tissues. Pigments, whose main property is to absorb …

We explore the formulation, delivery, and performance of ammonium xanthommatin--the
synthetic form of a naturally occurring biochrome, xanthommatin (Xa)--for skincare …

We describe the investigation of an organic natural product, ammonium xanthommatin
(Xanthochrome), in a series of studies designed to not only assess its impact on endocrine …

Biologically-inspired compositions, including color changing compositions, and
corresponding embodiments such as sensors, textile materials, coatings and films, are …
