Nerve-associated progenitors make scale pigmentation.
(A-O′) Repeated imaging of a clone induced on 5 dpf in zebrafish carrying Tg(sox10:ERT2-Cre) and Tg(βactin2:loxP-STOP-loxP-DsRed-express) reveal production of scale pigmentation from nerve-associated progenitors that produce pigment cells of the body. Blue arrows: neuronal branches; yellow arrows: scale melanophores and their progenitors; asterisks: undifferentiated progenitors that produce scale xanthophores; arrowheads: iridophores; dpf; days post-fertilization. Dashed lines indicate pigment cells of a scale. Panels (A-D′) are reproduced from Singh et ai, 2014. Scale bars = 100 µm.
