Melanocyte uniformity measurements.

Abstract

<p>As quantitative measurements of the three different mechanisms’ ability to distribute melanocytes evenly, we counted the number of melanocytes with three or more melanocyte neighbors (top), and the relative standard deviation of the distance from all melanocytes to the nearest other melanocyte (bottom). All measurements are given as mean and standard deviation of 12 repetitions. A Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was performed to test for significant differences between the hypotheses at each parameter setting of which the results are given in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0040377#pone-0040377-t001" target="_blank"><b>Table 1</b></a>.</p
