Unscrambling Link Between Molecular Bonding and Distributing Pigment Leads to Potential Therapeutics for Rare Skin Disease

A RIKEN-led team of molecular biologists has determined the specific bonding leading to the formation of a protein complex involved in distributing pigment throughout the skin. Disruption of this membrane transport complex leads to the rare, lethal Griscelli syndrome for which there is no effective treatment.

Johns Hopkins Researchers Discover Way to 'Tighten' Body's Protective Coating

A net with large holes won't catch small fish. Likewise, the microscopic fibers in the protective mucus coatings of the eyes, lungs, stomach or reproductive system naturally bundle together and allow the tiniest disease-causing bugs, allergens or pollutants to slip by. But Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered a way to chemically shrink the holes in the mucus layer's netting so that it will keep out more of the unwanted particles.

Using Tiny Silver Nanoparticles to Reveal Internal Structure of Nearly Opaque Biological Materials

University of Utah physicists and chemists developed a new method that uses a mirror of tiny silver "nanoparticles" so microscopes can reveal the internal structure of nearly opaque biological materials like bone, tumor cells and the iridescent green scales of the so-called "photonic beetle."
