Heterotypic interactions regulate cell shape and density during color pattern formation in zebrafish [PDF]

Biology Open, 2016
The conspicuous striped coloration of zebrafish is produced by cell-cell interactions among three different types of chromatophores: black melanophores, orange/yellow xanthophores and silvery/blue iridophores.

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

Sox5 functions as a fate switch in medaka pigment cell development.

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Mechanisms generating diverse cell types from multipotent progenitors are crucial for normal development. Neural crest cells (NCCs) are multipotent stem cells that give rise to numerous cell-types, including pigment cells.

Xanthophore Distribution of Nemo (Amphiprion ocellaris) Skin Based on various Concentrations of Carotenoid Sources [PDF]

Jurnal Ilmiah Perikanan dan Kelautan, 2023
The decreased color intensity of  Nemo is related to the amount of carotenoid concentration in the xanthophore of Nemo's skin. Therefore, efforts are needed to maintain stable carotenoid production. Tomato is one of the most abundant carotenoid producers.

Development and genetics of red coloration in the zebrafish relative Danio albolineatus [PDF]

eLife, 2021
Animal pigment patterns play important roles in behavior and, in many species, red coloration serves as an honest signal of individual quality in mate choice.

A Simple Method for RNA-Seq of Manually Isolated Chromatophores in Oryzias Fishes. [PDF]

Dev Growth Differ
ABSTRACT RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) has become an essential tool for analyzing gene expression and exploring cell type–specific transcriptomes. However, sample preparation and quality control remain challenging, as current approaches typically rely on dissecting tissues containing mixed cell populations or using flow cytometry to isolate fluorescently ...

Single-cell RNA analysis identifies pre-migratory neural crest cells expressing markers of differentiated derivatives

eLife, 2021
The neural crest is a migratory population of stem-like cells that contribute to multiple traits including the bones of the skull, peripheral nervous system, and pigment.

Characterization of the Leucistic Texas Rat Snake Pantherophis obsoletus

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Albinism and leucism are phenotypes resulting from impaired melanin pigmentation in the skin and skin appendages. However, melanin pigmentation of eyes remains unaffected in leucism.
