Vertebrate pigment patterns are diverse and fascinating adult traits that allow animals to
recognize conspecifics, attract mates, and avoid predators. Pigment patterns in fish are …

Dermal fibroblasts are traditionally recognized as synthesizing, remodeling and depositing
collagen and extracellular matrix, the structural framework for tissues, helping to bring …

Neural crest (NC) cells migrate throughout vertebrate embryos to give rise to a huge variety
of cell types, but when and where lineages emerge and their regulation remain unclear. We …

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 …

Neural crest cells are multipotent progenitors that dynamically interpret diverse
microenvironments to migrate significant distances as a loosely associated collective and …

Understanding how fate specification of distinct cell-types from multipotent progenitors
occurs is a fundamental question in embryology. Neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) generate …

For years, clinical studies involving human volunteers and several known pre-clinical in vivo
models (ie, mice, guinea pigs) have demonstrated their reliability in evaluating the …

Multipotent neural crest (NC) progenitors generate an astonishing array of derivatives,
including neuronal, skeletal components and pigment cells (chromatophores), but the …

Simple Summary The color of wool is an essential trait in sheep which plays a significant
role in the textile industry. The color of wool is determined by the presence of various …

Melasma is a hyperpigmentary disorder with photoaging features, whose manifestations
appear on specific face areas, rich in sebaceous glands (SGs). To explore the SGs possible …
