Reconciling diverse mammalian pigmentation patterns with a fundamental mathematical model

Reconciling diverse mammalian pigmentation patterns with a fundamental mathematical model

How embryonic melanoblast behaviour influences adult pigmentation patterns and causes patterning defects is unclear. Here, Mort et al. construct a stochastic model parameterised experimentally to show that melanoblast migration is undirected and that reduced proliferation causes patterning defects.
