The team used X. laevis tadpoles to evaluate DNP's effects on a whole living organism and found that it did successfully induce a torpor-like state that could be reversed when the drug was removed ...

Scientists are making use of Xenopus tadpoles to study autism risk genes. New research uncovered an alarming accumulation of plastic particles in human brains, raising concerns about their potential ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

To address these questions at the molecular level, my lab focuses on the developing visual system of the Xenopus laevis tadpole. Retinal ganglion cells in the eye project their axons to the optic ...
