Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4661-4668, May 2026.Ballan wrasse and lumpfish effectively reduce sea lice on salmon year round, although lumpfish struggle with cryptic lice, highlighting new considerations for lice management. Abstract BACKGROUND Cleaner fish play a crucial role in controlling caligid sea lice in Atlantic salmon aquaculture across the North Atlantic.

, 2014 Indian toad, Bufo melanostictus is an amphibian, which is able to change the body color to adapt to its ambient need. This ability is due to specialized skin pigment cells known as melanophores which are excellent animal-cell models to study most of the ...

Cell Death of Melanophores in Zebrafish trpm7 Mutant Embryos Depends on Melanin Synthesis
, 2007 Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) is a broadly expressed, non-selective cation channel. Studies in cultured cells implicate TRPM7 in regulation of cell growth, spreading, and survival.

Zebrafish Melanophores Suggest Novel Functions of Cell Chirality in Tissue Formation
, 2021 Several types of cells show left–right asymmetric behavior, unidirectional rotation, or spiral movements. For example, neutrophil-like differentiated HL60 (dHL60) cells show leftward bias in response to chemoattractant.

Associations of MC1R Substitutions With Body Color Variation in a Desert Lizard
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We successfully identified two amino acid substitutions (V165I and V237I) in MC1R that are significantly associated with body color variation between melanistic and non‐melanistic populations of a toad‐headed lizard, P. versicolor. In silico analysis revealed that both substitutions located in transmembrane (TM) domains affect the binding affinity ...

Effects of ultraviolet-C radiation on isolated fish scale melanophores
, 2004 58-60The effects of ultraviolet-C radiation on isolated fish scale melanophores are studied. The responses of melanophores were measured by mean melanophores size index (MMSI).

Vertebrate melanophores as potential model for drug discovery and development: A review
, 2011 Drug discovery in skin pharmacotherapy is an enormous, continually expanding field. Researchers are developing novel and sensitive pharmaceutical products and drugs that target specific receptors to elicit concerted and appropriate responses. The pigment-

Nature Communications, 2016 Melanophores, iridophores and xanthophores are pigment-cell types that interact to form the stripes in zebrafish. Here, the authors study the interaction between cells of the same kind and show that each pigment-cell type covers the skin by contact based
