Melanin is a common name for a group of biopolymers with the dominance of potential
applications in medical sciences, cosmeceutical, bioremediation, and bioelectronic …

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 …

Melanin is ubiquitous in living organisms across different biological kingdoms of life, making
it an important, natural biomaterial. Its presence in nature from microorganisms to higher …

Through the use of the limited materials palette, optimally designed micro-and
nanostructures, and tightly regulated processes, nature demonstrates exquisite control of …

The generic term “melanin “describes a black pigment of biological origin, although some
melanins can be brown or even yellow. The pigment is characterized as a heterogenic …

This review presents a general view of all types of melanin in all types of organisms. Melanin
is frequently considered just an animal cutaneous pigment and is treated separately from …

Melanins are well-known biopolymers that are ubiquitous in nature, distributed widely in
microorganisms, plants, and animals, and play significant physiological roles. They are …

Despite considerable advances in the past decade, melanin research still suffers from the
lack of universally accepted and shared nomenclature, methodologies, and structural …

Melanin is an irregular light-absorbing polymer containing indoles and other intermediate
products derived from the oxidation of tyrosine. Melanin is widely dispersed in the animal …

The color of hair, skin, and eyes in animals mainly depends on the quantity, quality, and
distribution of the pigment melanin, which occurs in two types: black to brown eumelanin …
