September 27, 2026keratinocytes form ideal shapes discovered in 2016 – Google Search
September 27, 2026QT:{{” In 2016, a team of scientists led by researchers from Kyoto University and Keio University discovered that granular keratinocytes in mammalian skin adopt a flattened Kelvin’s tetrakaidecahedron (f-TKD). [1, 2]
This 14-sided solid polyhedron—consisting of six rectangular and eight hexagonal sides—was first proposed by the British physicist Lord Kelvin in 1887 as the mathematically ideal shape for filling space with the least amount of surface area, much like how bubbles fit together in a foam. [1, 2]
Why This Shape Matters
The discovery, published in Scientific Reports / EMBO Journal by Yokouchi et al. (2016), solved a long-standing mystery in biology: how the skin maintains a continuous, leak-proof barrier while constantly shedding cells. [1, 2]

US finally gets new sunscreen molecule, bemotrizinol
September 26, 2026• A long-awaited ingredient: For the first time since 1996, the US is getting a new UV filter, bemotrizinol. Widely used outside the US, it offers strong protection against both UVA and UVB rays and is less likely to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Why did it take so long? Unlike in Europe, where UV filters are regulated as cosmetics, the US treats them as medications—requiring extensive and expensive trials. Consumers can expect the products containing bemotrizinol around September.

QT:{{” Neomycin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic drug that is derived from the metabolic products of Streptomyces fradiae.5 Neomycin is a complex comprised of three components, neomycin A, B, and C.2 Neomycin B, also known as framycetin, is the most active component of the complex and neomycin C is the isomer of neomycin B, making these two stereoisomers the active components of neomycin.1,2 Neomycin A, or neamine, is a moiety that conjoins two molecules of neomycin B and C together.1 Neomycin is active against both
gram-positive and gram-negative organisms and mediates its
pharmacological action by binding to bacterial ribosomes and inhibiting protein synthesis, which is crucial for the survival of bacteria.9
Neomycin sulfate is the most common form for pharmaceutical
preparations; because the compound is a complex, the amount of neomycin in products is measured in units.2 Neomycin sulfate as monotherapy is available in an oral solution for adjunct use in the treatment of hepatic coma.5 It is also used in combination with polymyxin B sulfates and hydrocortisone in otic suspensions for use in the treatment of bacterial infections in the external auditory canal, including infections caused by medical procedures in the ear.6 “}}

QT:{{”
Sodium metabisulfite is added as an excipient to medications which contain adrenaline (epinephrine), in order to prevent the oxidation of adrenaline.[7] For example, it is added to combination drug
formulations which contain a local anaesthetic and adrenaline,[7] and to the formulation in epinephrine autoinjectors, such as the EpiPen.[8] This lengthens the shelf life of the formulation,[7] although the sodium metabisulfite reacts with adrenaline, causing it to degrade and form epinephrine sulfonate.[9]
…
It (or liquid SO2) is commonly used as an antimicrobial and
antioxidant in winemaking; bottled wine indicates its use with the label “Contains Sulfites” in the US.
…
Safety
Sodium metabisulfite, despite not being flammable, decomposes at 150°C releasing toxic sulfur dioxide. It is corrosive when dissolved in water. Some people who are sulfite sensitive may experience an allergic reaction to sodium metabisulfite, sometimes severe, resulting in labeling requirements for food safety.[22] In 2024, it was named ‘allergen of the year 2024’ by the American Contact Dermatitis Society.[23]
