Melanosomes are found in specialized pigment cells called melanocytes, but may also be engulfed by other cells, which are then called melanophages.

In the 1960s Falck embarked on research of monoamine related substances in epidermal pigment cells ( melanocytes ) and in malignant melanoma.

Wild-type flies have reddish pigment cells, which serve to absorb excess blue light so the fly is not blinded by ambient light.

Known for his research in the field of cellular anatomy, he made valuable contributions in his studies of chromatophores ( pigment cells ).

The sclera, like the cornea, contains a basal endothelium, above which there is the lamina fusca, containing a high count of pigment cells.
36.
Over time, these pigment cells can accumulate in the anterior chamber in such a way that it can begin to clog the trabecular meshwork.
37.
The experimental method involved transplantation of skin from black mice ( with black melanocyte pigment cells ) to white mice ( without melanocytes ).
38.
The fragments and enzymes somehow stimulate pigment cells, found in upper layers of the skin, to produce melanin, a black substance that absorbs ultraviolet light.

It is the official journal of the International Federation of Pigment Cell Societies ( IFPCS ) and the Society for Melanoma Research ( SMR ).

KIT plays an important role in the migration of early pigment cells ( melanocytes ) from the neural crest to their ultimate location in the skin.
