Airinemes: thin cellular protrusions mediate long-distance signalling guided by macrophages [PDF]
Open Biology, 2020 Understanding the mechanisms of cell-to-cell communication is one of the fundamental questions in biology and medicine. In particular, long-range signalling where cells communicate over several cell diameters is vital during development and homeostasis ...

Self-organizing floral pigmentation patterns [PDF]
Science, 2020 Plant Science Petals of Mimulus flowers are decorated with anthocyanin spots in patterns that cue pollinators. Ding et al. show how, following the rules of a reaction-diffusion system, a self-activating transcription factor called NECTAR GUIDE ANTHOCYANIN (NEGAN) interacts with a mobile repressor to organize pigment patterns on flower petals. Among the

Pigment pattern formation in the medaka embryo [PDF]
Pigment Cell Research, 2005 SummaryFor the study of development of pigmentation, compared with mammalian models, fish offer the advantage of multiple chromatophore types and ready access to the developing embryo for observation and experimental manipulation. Compared with zebrafish embryos, medaka embryos have an additional unique chromatophore‐type and superb properties for ...

Pigmentation and color pattern diversity in Odonata
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2021 The order Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) comprises diurnal insects with well-developed vision, showing diverse colors in adult wings and bodies. It is one of the most ancestral winged insect groups. Because Odonata species use visual cues to recognize each other, color patterns have been investigated from ecological and evolutionary viewpoints ...

Sequence-Based Mapping and Genome Editing Reveal Mutations in Stickleback Hps5 Cause Oculocutaneous Albinism and the casper Phenotype. [PDF]
, 2017 Here, we present and characterize the spontaneous X-linked recessive mutation casper, which causes oculocutaneous albinism in threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus).

Diffusion Of Indigo Molecules Inside The Palygorskite Clay Channels [PDF]
, 2011 The search for durable dyes led several past civilizations to develop artificial pigments. Maya Blue (MB), manufactured in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, is one of the best known examples of an organic-inorganic hybrid material.

Pigment epithelial pattern dystrophy: a peripheral type. [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1985 A hitherto undescribed form of pattern dystrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium was found in a patient suffering from mucopolysaccharidosis II or Hunter's disease. We propose the name peripheral pattern dystrophy.
