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 ...

Organization of Coloration in Nemerteans: Insights from Light and Electron Microscopy [PDF]
BiologyAlthough pigment systems have been extensively studied in vertebrates and cephalopods, those of many invertebrate groups, including nemerteans (Nemertea), remain poorly understood.

Pigment Cell Differentiation in Sea Urchin Blastula-Derived Primary Cell Cultures
Marine Drugs, 2014 The quinone pigments of sea urchins, specifically echinochrome and spinochromes, are known for their effective antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and antitumor activities. We developed in vitro technology for inducing pigment differentiation in cell

Review: The Role of Wnt/β-Catenin Signalling in Neural Crest Development in Zebrafish
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The neural crest (NC) is a multipotent cell population in vertebrate embryos with extraordinary migratory capacity. The NC is crucial for vertebrate development and forms a myriad of cell derivatives throughout the body, including pigment cells, neuronal

Regulation of dynamic pigment cell states at single-cell resolution
eLife, 2020 Cells bearing pigment have diverse roles and are often under strict evolutionary selection. Here, we explore the regulation of pigmented cells in the purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, an emerging model for diverse pigment function. We took

Endothelin receptor Aa regulates proliferation and differentiation of Erb-dependent pigment progenitors in zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2019 Skin pigment patterns are important, being under strong selection for multiple roles including camouflage and UV protection. Pigment cells underlying these patterns form from adult pigment stem cells (APSCs).

The Cis-Regulatory Code for Kelch-like 21/30 Specific Expression in Ciona robusta Sensory Organs
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 The tunicate Ciona robusta is an emerging model system to study the evolution of the nervous system. Due to their small embryos and compact genomes, tunicates, like Ciona robusta, have great potential to comprehend genetic circuitry underlying cell ...
