Human CD36 is a fatty-acid link to cancer metastasis, according to a recent study from Spain. The fact that there are albino luna moths links to pigment-cell cancers such as melanoma. Thus, we would be interested in any omega-3 links to such moths, and jodyf documents an albino luna at Franklinton, Washington County, Lousiana (www.). Since the moth feeds on sweetgum (Liquidambar) which is a gold accumulator, there is a parts-per-million link to gold that theoretically could affect pigmentation chemistry in the larvae. In addition, jodyf's webpage has the geographical coordinates, and thus we would be interested in the heat-shock proteins operating in an albino luna's host-plant . In particular, in comparison to the ambiguously-behaving 27kDa protein in human breast cancer. The geographical location in Louisiana means multiple broods per year, which would naturally accelerate mutations in pigmentation genes.
