An Overview of the Biological Complexity of Vitiligo.

Vitiligo is a skin disease that affects all ethnicities and genders and is characterized by the loss of pigment essentially due to the selective loss of melanocytes. Although it is generally considered a systemic disease associated with polymorphisms in genes involved in the immune response, vitiligo is also considered an oxidative imbalance-associated disease. It represents a multifactorial pathology in which some genetic predisposition and epigenetic factors coupled with some critical biochemical and molecular pathways could play a pivotal role.

Detection of VOCs and Biogenic Amines Through Luminescent Zn-Salen Complex-Tethered Pyrenyl Arms.

Amines are produced through various industrial and biological processes, contributing significantly to atmospheric pollution, particularly in the troposphere. Moreover, amine-related pollution raises global concerns due to its detrimental effects on human health, environmental quality, and the preservation of animal species. Low-molecular-weight volatile amines, categorized as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are present in the atmosphere, and they represent the main cause of air pollution.

Fast detection of penicillium rot and the conservation status of packaged citrus fruit using an optical array sensor.

A novel optical array sensor designed to detect the conservation status of citrus fruit as well as contamination of ripened fruits by green mold incited by the fungus is reported here. The device demonstrates high sensitivity, specificity, and cost-effectiveness, making it suitable for integration into the citrus fruit supply chain, including production and packaging systems.
