Meningeal Melanocytes in the Mouse: Distribution and Dependence on Mitf

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Here, we document and define pigmented cells in the meninges of the mouse brain and confirm that they are melanocytes. This is important for understanding the role of this cell type and for understanding primary meningeal melanoma, a rare disease that likely arises from normal meningeal melanocytes.
