In situ differentiation of iridophore crystallotypes underlies zebrafish stripe patterning [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 The skin of zebrafish is patterned by alternating blue stripes and yellow interstripes which arises from guanine crystal-containing cells called iridophores that reflect light.

Endothelin signalling in iridophore development and stripe pattern formation of zebrafish [PDF]
Biology Open, 2014 Colour patterns of adult fish are composed of several different types of pigment cells distributing in the skin during juvenile development. The zebrafish, Danio rerio, displays a striking pattern of dark stripes of melanophores interspersed with light ...

Protein Kinase A Signaling Inhibits Iridophore Differentiation in Zebrafish [PDF]
Journal of Developmental Biology, 2018 In zebrafish (Danio rerio), iridophores are specified from neural crest cells and represent a tractable system for examining mechanisms of cell fate and differentiation.

Iridophores and their interactions with other chromatophores are required for stripe formation in zebrafish [PDF]
Development, 2013 Colour patterns of adult fish are produced by several types of pigment cells that distribute in the dermis during juvenile development. The zebrafish, Danio rerio, displays a striking pattern of dark stripes of melanophores interspersed by light stripes of xanthophores.

Epigenetic dynamics shaping melanophore and iridophore cell fate in zebrafish [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2021 Background Zebrafish pigment cell differentiation provides an attractive model for studying cell fate progression as a neural crest progenitor engenders diverse cell types, including two morphologically distinct pigment cells: black melanophores and ...

Biology Open, 2013 Summary In the skin of adult zebrafish, three pigment cell types arrange into alternating horizontal stripes, melanophores in dark stripes, xanthophores in light interstripes and iridophores in both stripes and interstripes.

pnp4a Is the Causal Gene of the Medaka Iridophore Mutant guanineless [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 See-through medaka lines are suitable for observing internal organs throughout life. They were bred by crossing multiple color mutants. However, some of the causal genes for these mutants have not been identified.

Stress‐induced changes in color expression mediated by iridophores in a polymorphic lizard [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 AbstractStress is an important potential factor mediating a broad range of cellular pathways, including those involved in condition‐dependent (i.e., honest) color signal expression. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying the relationship between stress and color expression are largely unknown.

Ultrastructural studies distinguish skin diversities among Galápagos iguanas [PDF]
Biology DirectIguanas exhibit diverse colors and behaviors reflecting evolutionarily adaptation to various habitats; in particular, the Galápagos iguanas represent unique color morphologies with distinct ecological niches.
