Retinoic acid promotes the differentiation of adrenergic cells and melanocytes in quail neural crest cultures

Article Abstract:

Retinoic acid causes neural crest cells in quail embryos to differentiate. This effect depends on what stage the cells are in during their migration from the neural crest. Retinoic acid was effective in 5-day old cultures and was active on pluripotent cells. These cells differentiated into melanocytes and adrenergic cells.

Indispensable role of Bcl2 in the development of the melanocyte stem cell

Article Abstract:

Using a study on mice, the importance of Bcl2 in the survival of melanoblasts and melanocytes and in formation of melanocyte stem cells, all of which are required for hair follicle development and hair pigmentation, is examined.
