... the correction of most subtle irregularities on the skin is possible through skillful pigmentation. Microblading describes a special technique in which the skin is carved with a certain “needle blade.” The ink is then applied on the fresh wound and massaged into the cuts in order to depose the pigments...

... Abstract The majority of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) tumors are considered to be congenital and benign. They are classified as either congenital hypertrophy of the RPE (CHRPE) or RPE hamartoma. CHRPE most frequently presents as an isolated, flat, darkly pigmented and well-delineated fundus...

.... In addition, these regulations would not lead to a healthier end product because the currently considered health problems associated with tattoos (affecting 6% of tattoos performed in Germany) could be caused by multiple additional factors, such as the tattooing technique and aftercare. The pigment itself...

... Abstract Humans are social animals that communicate disproportionately via potent genetic signals imbued in the skin and hair, including racial, ethnic, health, gender, and age status. For the vast majority of us, age-related hair pigment loss becomes the inescapable signal of our disappearing...

... Abstract Suspensions of human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium (hES-RPE) and human fetal RPE resurface aged and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) Bruch's membrane to a limited degree at day 21 in organ culture. Survival and differentiation of hES-RPE and human fetal...

... and functional integrity of blood vessels in the body. These are the well-characterized proteins, vascular endothelial derived growth factor (VEGF) and pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF). Overexpression of VEGF, a potent endothelial cell mitogen, is potentiated in response to hypoxia, hyperglycemia...

... Abstract The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a monolayer of cells adjacent to the photoreceptors of the retina. It plays a crucial role in maintaining photoreceptor health and survival. Degeneration or dysfunction of the RPE can lead to photoreceptor degeneration and as a consequence...

... injury and raise the question as to whether CPBassociatedAKI may actually be, in a significant part, a form of pigment nephropathy wherehemoglobin is the pigment responsible for renal injury. If CPB-associated AKI is a pigmentnephropathy, alkalinization of urine with sodium bicarbonate might protect from...
