Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

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

Tissue-specific ultrastructural characteristics of melanocytes and neighboring cells. [PDF]
, 2015 Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the melanocytes. Melanosomes were observed in the melanocytes (blue arrow) and the immune cells (green arrow) of the thymus (a).

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Re-appraisal of keratinocytes' role in vitiligo pathogenesis
Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2018 Background: Vitiligo is a common pigmentary disorder. Studies on its pathogenesis extensively investigated melanocytes' abnormalities and few studies searched for keratinocytes' role in disease development.

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Pigmented Melanocytes Are Protected Against Ultraviolet-A-Induced Membrane Damage [PDF]
, 2003 The dominant skin pigment melanin is believed to protect human skin against several harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. It is not clear, however, how melanin located inside melanin-producing melanocytes modulates the effect of ultraviolet radiation

Ecto-mesenchymal stem cells from dental pulp are committed to differentiate into active melanocytes [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2010 Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are multipotent stem cells derived from neural crest and mesenchyme and have the capacity to differentiate into multiple cell lineages.

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective The albumin‐globulin ratio (AGR) is a biochemical marker reflecting nutritional and inflammatory status, with significant prognostic value in chronic conditions. This study examined its association with clinical/biochemical markers in adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) and atypical AN (AAN).
