Abstract: The remarkable dynamic camouflage ability of cephalopods arises from precisely orchestrated structural changes within their chromatophores and iridophores photonic cells. This mesmerizing color display remains unmatched in synthetic coatings and is regulated by swelling/deswelling of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2021.08.23.457345
Abstract: Reflectin proteins are nature copolymers consist of repeated canonical domains, locating in a biophotonic system called Bragg lamellae and manipulating the dynamic structural coloration of iridocytes. Their biological functions are intriguing, but the underlying mechanism… read more here.
