An approach to the study of cytodifferentiation in melanophores
Developmental Biology, 1963Abstract A method is described whereby the melanoblasts on the yolk sac of a fish ( Fundulus heteroclitus ) can be identified and staged throughout the period of their early differentiation. The method is based on the nuclear volume increase observed in these cells.

Functional Screening in the Melanophore Bioassay
Current Protocols in Pharmacology, 2005AbstractThe melanophore bioassay is a robust, sensitive, and versatile procedure for screening G protein–coupled receptors in a variety of formats. Because melanophores contain a wide variety of G proteins, they can be employed as a sensitive, real‐time response system for studying transfected receptors and for defining equilibria for drug effects ...

Regulation of pigmentation in zebrafish melanophores
Pigment Cell Research, 2006SummaryIn comparison with the molecular genetics of melanogenesis in mammals, the regulation of pigmentation in poikilothermic vertebrates is poorly understood. Mammals undergo morphological colour change under hormonal control, but strikingly, many lower vertebrates display a rapid physiological colour change in response to the same hormones.

Melanophore activity of urodele melanocytes
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1971Melanophore activity of dermal and epidermal melanocytes in Taricha torosa and Ambystoma gracile has been observed with tricaine methanesulfonate (MS222) dissolved in habitat water, as well as with injected intermedin or injected epinephrine.

Fine structure of tadpole melanophores
The Anatomical Record, 1966AbstractThe fine structure of frog tadpole melanophores has been found to be different from that of teleost chromatophores (Falk and Rhodin, '57). The cytoplasm is not divided into inner and outer regions. Organelles are distributed throughout the cytoplasm. A special search for microtubules was made and only a single such structure could be found.

Proliferation of amphibian melanophores in vitro
Developmental Biology, 1974Abstract Melanophores were isolated from the tail skin of bullfrog tadpoles and cultured in vitro . Cell proliferation occurred 3–4 weeks after inoculation and the cells doubled their number about every 5 days to form a colony of uniformly pigmented melanophores.

Control of Melanophores in Amphibians
1966In the vast literature which has accumulated during the last fifty years concerning the regulation of vertebrate melanophores, studies on the pituitary and its hormone, intermedin (MSH, MDH, chromatotrophic hormone, etc.) have dominated the field (for literature see Parker [23], Fingerman [14], Waring [26]).
