Abstract

On the basis of discussions emerging from a workshop and discussions at the 7th meeting of the European Society for Pigment Cell Research in Geneva in 2012 this manuscript outlines useful criteria for defining the bona-fide pigment cells as a functional entity of the vertebrate body plan and differentiating them from “pigmented” cells in general. It also proposes a nomenclature for the various types of pigment cells of vertebrates.
