The genome sequence of the most common laboratory frog reveals that it originated when different frog species hybridized and the genome doubled, paralleling events that led to the origin of ...

The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is the most commonly used frog in biological research 1. It is the model amphibian in developmental and molecular biology because, among other characteristics, ...

Good things come but once a year, but the international Xenopus conference is so good it only comes around every other year. The conference brought together researchers from nearby Europe, further ...

Actually, they are quite similar. The three clawed frog species, Xenopus borealis, laevis and tropicalis, are about as closely related as a horse and a donkey. But when it comes to their comfort ...

本文研究发现非洲爪蟾（Xenopus laevis）对人类致病菌敏感，腹腔注射会致死。它可用于评估抗菌药物疗效和鉴定毒力基因，能模拟哺乳动物败血症，为研究细菌感染机制及治疗策略提供了新的动物模型，助力传染病研究。 研究背景 细菌感染严重威胁人类健康 ...

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, Vol. 62, No. 11 (Sep., 2008), pp. 1821-1829 (9 pages) We examined the behavioral and developmental responses of Xenopus laevis larvae to their mirror images in ...

The cytoplasm of ruptured Xenopus frog eggs spontaneously reorganizes into cell-like compartments, according to a study. Can scrambled eggs unscramble themselves? Well, sort of. The cytoplasm of ...

A fungus that grows on the backs of frogs may be responsible for the extinction of dozens of species, say the authors of a study published in Thursday’s issue of Nature. Amphibian chytrid fungus seems ...

In this study we characterized the chaperone functions of Xenopus recombinant Hsp30C and Hsp30D by using an in vitro rabbit reticulocyte lysate (RRL) refolding assay system as well as a novel in vivo ...

Can scrambled eggs unscramble themselves? Well, sort of. The cytoplasm of ruptured Xenopus frog eggs spontaneously reorganizes into cell-like compartments, according to a study by researchers at the ...
