22 lut 2023 · In this review, we focus on the recent advances in the research of melanin in all aspects. Firstly, the classification, source, and degradation of melanin are summarized. Secondly, a detailed description of the structure, characterization, and properties of melanin is followed.
9 sty 2023 · We examined the relationship between skin melanin and serum vitamin D (vitD) [S-25 (OH)D] levels and explored whether melanin levels explained S-25 (OH)D variations between immigrants and native-born Canadians. This study offers novel findings as no such study has been conducted.
28 wrz 2023 · Melanin, a ubiquitous dark pigment, plays important roles in the immune system, including scavenging reactive oxygen species formed in response to ultraviolet radiation absorption, absorbing metals, thermal regulation, drug uptake, innate immune system functions, redox, and energy transduction.

Melanin is reported to have a vital role as an antioxidant by neutralizing the free radicals that cause stress on many parts of the body. Melanin is well known for its antioxidant property by reducing the generation of reactive oxygen species [17].
8 wrz 2018 · Skin color diversity is the most variable and noticeable phenotypic trait in humans resulting from constitutive pigmentation variability. This paper will review the characterization of skin pigmentation diversity with a focus on the most recent data on the genetic basis of skin pigmentation, and the various methodologies for skin color assessment.
Melanins and melanogenesis: Elucidating chemical and physical properties is central to unravel biological roles and functions and to translate clues from pigment cells to innovative applications.
