these results showed that the melanophore pattern in larval xenopus depended upon melanoblast-tissue interactions , which influenced the migration , rather than the differentiation , proliferation or destruction , of melanoblasts and suggested that tissue selection by migrating melanoblasts enabled these cells to distribute themselves in embryonic tissues in accordance with a hierarchy of melanoblast-tissue affinities .
