Light-sensitivity of isolated pigment cells of the sea urchin Centrostephanus longispinus
@article{Weber2004LightsensitivityOI, title={Light-sensitivity of isolated pigment cells of the sea urchin Centrostephanus longispinus}, author={W. Weber and M. Dambach}, journal={Cell and Tissue Research}, year={2004}, volume={148}, pages={437-440} }
SummaryPigment cells isolated from the epithelium of the sea urchin Centrostephanus longispinus display light-sensitivity in the same manner as in normal tissue. In complete darkness they have a round to ovoid shape. On illumination a successive extension of pigment-bearing processes can be observed. Darkness leads to a successive retraction of the pseudopodia.
