Guanine synthesis-related gene expression enrichment in iridophores.
, 2013 RPKM values for enzymes related to guanine synthesis in iridophores. Enzymes are grouped with their commonly associated pathways. Rate-limiting enzymes from each of the specific pathways are indicated with an asterisk. Notably, adssl is the first adenine-

Heterotypic interactions regulate cell shape and density during color pattern formation in zebrafish
Biology Open, 2016 The conspicuous striped coloration of zebrafish is produced by cell-cell interactions among three different types of chromatophores: black melanophores, orange/yellow xanthophores and silvery/blue iridophores.

, 2004 In this paper we describe changes in spectral reflectivity of the light reflectors (iridophores) of the squid Alloteuthis subulata. The spectral changes that can be seen in living squid, can also be brought about by superfusing whole skin preparations ...

Distinct interactions of Sox5 and Sox10 in fate specification of pigment cells in medaka and zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Mechanisms generating diverse cell types from multipotent progenitors are fundamental for normal development. Pigment cells are derived from multipotent neural crest cells and their diversity in teleosts provides an excellent model for studying ...

On the fourth Diadema species (Diadema-sp) from Japan. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Four long-spined sea urchin species in the genus Diadema are known to occur around the Japanese Archipelago. Three species (D. savignyi, D. setosum, and D. paucispinum) are widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific Ocean.

Flashing spots on the dorsal trunk of hardyhead silverside fish
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 A large number of living creatures are able to use ambient light effectively in biological signalling. Atherinomorus lacunosus, a teleost fish has alignments of circular spots on its dorsal trunk.

Purification procedure for melanocytes, iridophores, and retinal pigmented epithelium.
, 2013 Zebrafish are grown to the desired time point; shown in (A) is a six day old fish. (B) Fish are dissociated to a single cell suspension; black melanocytes (arrows) and reflective iridophores (arrowheads) are visible as a small percentage of all cells. (C)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Leukocyte tyrosine kinase functions in pigment cell development.
PLoS Genetics, 2008 A fundamental problem in developmental biology concerns how multipotent precursors choose specific fates. Neural crest cells (NCCs) are multipotent, yet the mechanisms driving specific fate choices remain incompletely understood.

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Transcription factors of the MIT/TFE family—mitfa, mitfb, and tfec—play essential roles in specifying pigment cells derived from neural crest cells in vertebrates. In teleosts, which possess multiple pigment cell types, these factors exhibit partially redundant but largely distinct functions across different pigment lineages.
