✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A study has been made of the normal development and of the regeneration after excision of the groups of large pigment cells which form the spotted skin pattern of the gecko Eublepharis macularius, together with the effects of neonatal graft transplantation on this pattern. The results all indicate strongly that such groups of specialized pigment cells are not clones but the product of an induction process. This is then compared with the neural reflex mechanism by which the skin pattern of Chamaeleo dilepis is formed.

## Abstract Recent studies have suggested that bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are capable of retinal tissue‐specific differentiation but not retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell‐specific differentiation. Photoreceptor outer segments (POS) contribute to RPE development and matu
