This study shows that inactivating HIRA during embryonic development affects melanoblasts and leads to aging-related defects in melanocyte stem cells, but not in postnatal melanocytes.

This study investigates the reproductive system of Avrainvillea lacerata in Hawai'i, finding it to be tetraploid with high clonal rates, suggesting vegetative spread contributes to its invasion.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to reveal molecular heterogeneity in quiescent melanocyte stem cells and identifies novel subpopulations with distinct immune privilege and differentiation potential.
