Pigment patterns: fish in stripes and spots
From tiger stripes to the spots on a butterfly wing, we all grow up learning about the beauty and diversity of animal pigment patterns. Such patterns are one of the most obvious traits of animals and serve a variety of functions. Some provide camouflage (zebra stripes) or warnings (the colors of poison arrow frogs). Other patterns have roles in social aggregation and mate choice (guppies), and ...
متن کاملConserved Expression Signatures between Medaka and Human Pigment Cell Tumors
Aberrations in gene expression are a hallmark of cancer cells. Differential tumor-specific transcript levels of single genes or whole sets of genes may be critical for the neoplastic phenotype and important for therapeutic considerations or useful as biomarkers. As an approach to filter out such relevant expression differences from the plethora of changes noted in global expression profiling st...
متن کاملActin-dependent pigment granule transport in retinal pigment epithelial cells.
Since diffusion of particles as large as vesicles or organelles is constrained by the high viscosity of cytoplasm, directed translocation of these particles from one cytoplasmic site to another must be achieved by cytoskeletal intervention. In most cases, this is achieved by attaching the particle to a molecular motor which then navigates along a microtubule or an actin filament track (Fath and...
متن کاملMorphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells after transplantation of stem cells into subretinal space
Introduction: Degenerative retinal diseases are main cause of irreversible blindness. Stem cells therapy is a promising way in these diseases. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells because of its safety can produce degenerated cells and can play important role in treatment. The aim of this study was to examine morphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells...
متن کاملTumors of the retinal pigment epithelium.
Under normal circumstances there is little, if any, turnover of the pigment epithelium of the human retina, and this absence of opportunity for aberrant genetic mutations to occur may in part account for the rarity of neoplasia in this tissue. Moreover, in those rare instances where tumours have developed, they have not infrequently been preceded by a hyperplastic proliferation associated with ...
