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 ...

Scientists have used Xenopus laevis tadpoles to tease out the genetic and biological mechanisms that enhance disease tolerance, and have identified drugs that can keep the tadpoles alive even in the ...

The humble tadpole could provide the key to developing effective anti-skin cancer drugs, thanks to a groundbreaking discovery by researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA). The scientists have ...

SINCE 1957 in our department, an increasing number of patients—up to now about 1,200—have been treated with high-energy electrons, using a 31-MeV BBC betatron. Some observations which we made during ...

While exploring how to connect replacement organs within the body, researchers induced extraordinary neuronal plasticity that enabled a blind tadpole to see through its tail. The African clawed frog ...

Researchers have uncovered a specialized population of skin cells that coordinate tail regeneration in frogs. These 'Regeneration-Organizing Cells' help to explain one of the great mysteries of nature ...

A tadpole (stage 59, Xenopus tropicalis) at the beginning of metamorphosis (left) and a froglet (stage 66, X. tropicalis) after metamorphosis (right). The skeleton undergoes dramatic remodeling during ...

Scientists are making use of Xenopus tadpoles to study autism risk genes. In this webinar, learn how next-gen CAR-T design targets solid tumors and which tools ease the path from discovery to clinic.

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 ...
