Abstract excerpt
All body pigment cells in vertebrates are derived from the neural crest. In fish the neural crest can generate up to six different types of pigment cells, as well as various non-pigmented derivatives. In mouse and zebrafish, extensive collections of pigmentation mutants have enabled dissection of many aspects of pigment cell development, including fate specification, survival, proliferation and differentiation. A...
