Pigment cells trigger the onset of gastrulation in tropical sea urchin Echinometra mathaei.
Many of the nerves reported by Dennell (1940) were undoubtedly misidentifications of striated material that were in reality either ligament or
pigment cell processes.

The latter is partly surrounded by a thick layer of
pigment cells containing numerous mostly densely staining granules.
Writing in the journal
Pigment Cell Research, he said the evidence of the dangers was stronger in more recent research, almost certainly reflecting the more widespread use of sunbeds.
These diseases not associated with vitiligo were type 1 diabetes, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, multiple sclerosis, alopecia areata, scleroderma, and myasthenia gravis (
