A female African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, was housed at the Biological Resources Facility of North Carolina State University in a tank with two other females. The frog was ∼1.5 years old and ...

In a study published today (October 13) in iScience, researchers found a way to harness photosynthesis to supply neurons with oxygen: they injected either cyanobacteria or green algae into Xenopus ...

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 ...

I am especially interested in the molecular pathways underlying this process. My lab studies these questions in the developing visual system of the Xenopus laevis tadpole. Because these tadpoles are ...

The first is traditional cell and molecular biology, focussed on the molecular mechanisms underlying mesoderm formation, and neural crest induction, and tissue and organ patterning, We use the clawed ...
