GENES DETERMINING COLORATION OF DIFFERENT ORGANS IN WHEAT by E. K. Khlestkina

“…Comparative mapping in cereals shows that some orthologous genes determining coloration occur in a few species (homoeologous series Rg has been found in wheat and Aegilops only, and R, in wheat, Aegilops and rye), whereas others (genes determining anthocyanin pigmentation) widely occur in Poaceae. The data on comparative mapping together with the results of recent studies dedicated to cloning and functions of genes determining coloration in wheat suggest that these genes belong to the Myb- and Myc-like families of genes, encoding transcriptional activators for structural genes involved in plant flavonoid pigments biosynthesis.…”

Near-Infrared Fluorescent Digital Pathology for the Automation of Disease Diagnosis and Biomarker Assessment by Summer L. Gibbs, Elizabeth Genega, Jeffery Salemi, Vida Kianzad, Haley L. Goodwill, Yang Xie, Rafiou Oketokoun, Parmeshwar Khurd, Ali Kamen, John V. Frangioni

“…Simultaneous H&E and immunostaining would alleviate coregistration problems; however, current opaque pigments used for immunostaining obscure H&E. In this study, we demonstrate that diagnostic information provided by two or more independent wavelengths of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence leave the H&E stain unchanged while enabling computer-assisted diagnosis and assessment of human disease. …”

Effects of Beeswax Coating on the Oxidative Stability of Long-Ripened Italian Salami by Marcello Trevisani, Matilde Cecchini, Daniela Siconolfi, Rocco Mancusi, Roberto Rosmini

“…Beeswax coating of foods put a barrier to oxygen, light, and vapour that can help to prevent oxidation of fat and pigments and water loss. The amounts of 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and water activity (Aw) were assessed in Italian salami coated with beeswax at 55 days of ripening and compared with controls at 5, 6, and 7 months of shelf life. …”

Poorly Differentiated Squamous Cell Carcinoma Arising in Tattooed Skin by Deba P. Sarma, Renee B. Dentlinger, Amanda M. Forystek, Todd Stevens, Christopher Huerter

“…All previous reports of squamous cell carcinomas arising in tattoos have been well-differentiated low-grade type or keratoacanthoma-type and are considered to be coincidental rather than related to any carcinogenic effect of the tattoo pigments. Tattoo-associated poorly differentiated invasive carcinoma appears to be extremely rare.…”

Microbial Tyrosinases: Promising Enzymes for Pharmaceutical, Food Bioprocessing, and Environmental Industry by Kamal Uddin Zaidi, Ayesha S. Ali, Sharique A. Ali, Ishrat Naaz

“…Tyrosinase is a natural enzyme and is often purified to only a low degree and it is involved in a variety of functions which mainly catalyse the o-hydroxylation of monophenols into their corresponding o-diphenols and the oxidation of o-diphenols to o-quinones using molecular oxygen, which then polymerizes to form brown or black pigments. The synthesis of o-diphenols is a potentially valuable catalytic ability and thus tyrosinase has attracted a lot of attention with respect to industrial applications. …”
