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 was ...

A 3D anatomical atlas of the model organism Xenopus laevis (the African clawed frog) is now available to aid researchers in understanding embryonic development and metamorphosis—the intriguing process ...

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 ...

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 team of scientists led by the Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute (JGI) and the University of California, Berkeley, is publishing this week the first genome sequence of an amphibian, the ...

This paper reviews nineteen different classes of neuron present in the nervous system of late embryos of the amphibian Xenopus laevis to see how far the behaviour of these animals can be explained in ...

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 ...

A microscopic, living robot that can heal and power itself has been created out of frog skin cells. Xenobots, named after the frog species Xenopus laevis that the cells come from, were first described ...

Our goal is to determine the role of the transcription factor SIX1 and SIX1-associated genes in de velopment of the cranial bones, jaws and ear using transgenic mice and Xenopus (frog). Our ...
