Zebrafish pigment cells develop directly from persistent highly multipotent progenitors
Neural crest cells are highly multipotent stem cells, but it remains unclear how their fate restriction to specific fates occurs. Here, the authors show in zebrafish that broad multipotency is retained even after migration, suggesting that fate restriction occurs directly, but dynamically.
