The Physiological Response to Light of Scale Melanophores of the Rose Bitterling, Rhodeus ocellatus ocellatus [PDF]

, 2004
textThe primary color response of scale melanophores from the adult rose (or rosy) bitterling, Rhodeus ocellatus ocellatus was investigated. The intensity of light used for illumination was about 2,000 lux.

Ontogeny of melanophore photosensitivity in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Biology Open, 2014
Migratory species experience morphological and physiological changes during transitions between different life stages. In particular, modification of sensory systems is critical for animals to adapt to new environments.

melanophores: melatonin degradation rather than receptor down‐regulation is responsible

, 2002
Xenopus laevis melanophores express a high density (B-max 1224 fmol/mg protein) of high-affinity (K-d 37 pM) cell membrane melatonin receptors. Treatment of melanophores with melatonin resulted in a loss of membrane melatonin receptors reaching a maximum

Developmental changes in melanophores and their asymmetrical responsiveness to melanin-concentrating hormone during metamorphosis in barfin flounder (Verasper moseri). [PDF]

, 2013
Barfin flounder larvae exhibit unique black coloration, as well as left-right asymmetry in juvenile stage as in other flatfish. In this study, we first assessed the changes in melanophores with development and then investigated their responsiveness to ...

Magnetic field effect on melanophores of the European whitefish Coregonus lavaretus (Linnaeus, 1758) and vendace Coregonus albula (Linnaeus, 1758) (Salmonidae) during early embryogenesis

The European Zoological Journal, 2017
The effects of a magnetic field (1, 3 and 5 mT), applied during short- (1, 3, 5, 30 and 60 minutes) and long-term (from the beginning of embryogenesis) exposure, on melanophores of the European whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus and vendace, Coregonus albula,

Interactions with iridophores and the tissue environment required for patterning melanophores and xanthophores during zebrafish adult pigment stripe formation.

PLoS Genetics, 2013
Skin pigment patterns of vertebrates are a classic system for understanding fundamental mechanisms of morphogenesis, differentiation, and pattern formation, and recent studies of zebrafish have started to elucidate the cellular interactions and molecular

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

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

Morphological and molecular characterization of dietary-induced pseudo-albinism during post-embryonic development of Solea senegalensis (Kaup, 1858). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The appearance of the pseudo-albino phenotype was investigated in developing Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis, Kaup 1858) larvae at morphological and molecular levels.
