Abnormal pigmentation of Senegalese sole has been described as one problem facing the full exploitation of its commercial production. To improve our understanding of flatfish pigmentation of this commercially important species we have evaluated eleven genes related to two different processes of pigmentation: melanophore differentiation, and melanin production. The temporal distribution of gene ...

Change in color of oral mucosa reflects the underlying health status, which is either local or systemic. This color change is due to pigmentation, which may be physiological or pathological. Pigmentation in pathological conditions range from localized anomalies of to potentially life-threatening conditions. Since the dental professionals encounter a number of pigmented lesions in the oral cavit...

The larval development of the dusky grouper Epinephelus marginatus up to the benthic juvenile stage is described in detail to establish a reference for their larval identification. Development is described in terms of ontogenetic changes in morphology, growth, pigmentation, fin structure and skeletal structure. Larvae were reared in mesocosms at a mean temperature of 24·3° C, salinity of 36·5, ...

Pigmentation, which is primarily determined by the amount, the type, and the distribution of melanin, shows a remarkable diversity in human populations, and in this sense, it is an atypical trait. Numerous genetic studies have indicated that the average proportion of genetic variation due to differences among major continental groups is just 10-15% of the total genetic variation. In contrast, s...

The evolutionary importance of ontogenetic change has been noted since Darwin. However, most analyses of phenotypic evolution focus on single landmark ages. Here, we present an inheritance study that quantifies genetic variation in pigmentation across early-age (i.e., birth to 180 days) development in 2 populations of the common garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis. The populations are phenotypica...

Skin pigmentation disorders pose serious dermatological concerns and bring immense psychological burdens to individuals suffering from them. Vitiligo is one such disorder resistant various conventional treatments. It caused by an autoimmune-mediated destruction of epidermal melanocytes, resulting in focal loss skin pigmentation. The hair follicle bulge holds a stem cell (SC) population directly...
