Mechanisms for reaching the differentiated state: Insights from neural crest-derived melanocytes
چکیده انگلیسی

Black pigment cells, or melanocytes, are the major contributing cells to pigmentation in vertebrate organisms. Although the function of these cells is distinct depending on the organism, the events involved in their development are remarkably similar. Here, we review the mechanisms involved in the early development of melanocytes from neural crest, many of which are conserved in organisms as diverse as zebrafish, birds and humans. We also discuss recent studies that provide further insight into how melanocyte differentiation is achieved and maintained.
