Moreover, the microelectronic structure of Mg（OH）2 with point defects in the bulk and on its surface were investigated using the first principles. The simulation results indicate that Mg（OH）2 was easily modified by other cations because of its strong, favorable interstitial and substitution defects via point defect energy calculation. Mg（OH）2 can provide high-efficiency flame retardancy because of the strong OH（OH Schottky defect） or H bond（H Frenkel defect and Schottky defect）. The potential model of Mg（OH）2 was established, and molecular dynamics simulation was used to investigate the relations between the crystal structure and the mechanical properties. Mg（OH）2 with special morphology such as nano-sheets was a prior consideration to maintain the composite mechanical properties. The detailed electronic structures of Mg（OH）2 with defects were determined. This work may provide theoretical guidance for choosing dopant element and reveal the element doping mechanism of Mg（OH）2.展开更多

In recent years, many white spotting genes have been associated with hypopigmentary disorders and deafness in neurocristopathies resulting from NC stem cell-derived melanocyte deficiency during development. These include PAX3, SOX10, MITF, SNAI2, EDNRB, EDN3, KIT, and KITL. Recent studies have revealed surprising new insights into a central role of MITF in the complex network of interacting genes in melanocyte development. In this perspective, we provide an overview of some of the current findings and explore complex functional roles of these genes during NC stem cell-derived melanocyte development.展开更多
