This Site best viewed with Internet Explorer or Netscape version 4 or later Pigment Cell Research offers scientists a specialized, interdisciplinary forum for the prompt dissemination of information on all aspects of pigment cell biology in such diverse biological species as plants, fungi, bacteria, invertebrates, lower vertebrates, and higher vertebrates, including man. The cellular and developmental biology, function and composition of pigment cells provides a unifying basis for studying such diverse topics as protective coloration, temperature regulation, skin color, photocarcinogenesis and malignant melanoma.
Pigment cells are thus uniquely attractive models for the study of basic cell biological phenomena.
