Microscopic images of the trunk skin of pigmented (A–C) and pseudo-albino (A’–C’) Senegalese sole specimens.

open access: yes, 2013
A–C) skin showing abundant dendritic melanophores surrounded by several xanthophores. A’–C’) skin showing few melanophores and disintegrating xanthophores. A) 33 dph, B) 35 dph, C) 41 dph. Red arrows, melanophores; blue arrows, xanthophores.

Skin clones show diminished ability to rescue melanocytes in xanthophores stripe regions of the regenerate.

open access: yes, 2014
A-A’. Dermal fibroblasts strongly rescue melanocytes irrespective of where the clone occurs in the fin. B-C. Skin clones within the melanocyte stripe (B-B’) show more robust melanocyte rescue than skin clones that occur in a xanthophores stripe (C-C’). D.

Zebrafish adult pigment stem cells are multipotent and form pigment cells by a progressive fate restriction process:Clonal analysis identifies shared origin of all pigment cell types [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Skin pigment pattern formation is a paradigmatic example of pattern formation. In zebrafish, the adult body stripes are generated by coordinated rearrangement of three distinct pigment cell-types, black melanocytes, shiny iridophores and yellow ...

Protein Energy Malnutrition: Opportunities for Cold Plasma Technologies

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) is a major global health concern driven by biological, environmental, and nutritional factors, including gut microbiota imbalance and low protein intake. Cold atmospheric plasma technologies offer promising, sustainable solutions by improving food security, enhancing protein quality and absorption, and modulating gut ...

Pigments, Chromatophore Structure, and Gene Expression Underlying Colour Polytypy of a Panamanian Poison Frog

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Colour polytypism represents an example of phenotypic diversification shaped by genetic divergence and ecological pressures. Poison frogs of the genus Oophaga (Dendrobatidae) are highly polytypic in coloration, making them an ideal system for investigating the genetic and physiological basis of colour variation.

Characterization of a Novel Filament System in Goldfish Xanthophores

open access: yes, 2009
  We report the presence of a novel filament system in goldfish xanthophores using a monoclonal antibody (A2) made against 40-70 kD proteins derived from cytoskeletal preparations. On Western blots, this antibody recognized a 45 kD protein in xanthophore

Microscopic images showing details of chromatophores distribution in the skin of pigmented larvae and pseudo-albinos in the ocular side of the fish.

open access: yes, 2013
A–B) trunk skin at the level of the vertebral column in 47 day-old pigmented (A) and pseudo-albino (B) specimens. Melanophores are dendritic in pigmented individuals while the ability to disperse melanosomes is lost in pseudo-albinos.

Creation of body color mutants by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides

open access: yesAquaculture Reports
Largemouth bass (LMB, Microterus salmoides) is an important commercial freshwater fish, and body color is a key economic trait for quality improvement. Gene editing has not been established in LMB due to the unavailability of one-cell fertilized eggs. In

Posttranslational modifications of proopiomelanocortin in vertebrates and their biological significance

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is the precursor of several peptide hormones generated in the pituitary gland. After biosynthesis, POMC undergoes several posttranslational modifications, including proteolytic cleavage, acetylation, amidation, phosphorylation,
