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 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 ...

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, ...

Methods for the isolation and in vitro culture of larval and adult Xenopus laevis epidermal cells have been developed. Epidermal cells of stage 52-54 tadpoles and adult epidermal cells were ...

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 ...

Scientists are exploring the molecules and tissues necessary for normal inner ear development in two different species that are model organisms for developmental biological studies: the African clawed ...

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 ...

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 ...
