Generation and Care of Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis Embryos [PDF]

open access: yesMethods in Molecular Biology, 2018
Robust and efficient protocols for fertilization and early embryo care of Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis are essential for experimental success, as well as maintenance and propagation of precious animal stocks. The rapid growth of the National Xenopus Resource has required effective implementation and optimization of these protocols.

LIM domain-containing proteins Zyxin and LPP localize to apical epithelial cell-cell junctions at regions of stable F-actin [PDF]

open access: yesmicroPublication Biology
LIM domain-containing proteins, Zyxin and Lipoma-Preferred Partner (LPP), localize to sites where actin filaments are strained, including actin stress fibers, focal adhesions, and cell-cell junctions. Utilizing the Xenopus laevis embryonic epithelium and

Zmym4 is required for early cranial gene expression and craniofacial cartilage formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Introduction: The Six1 transcription factor plays important roles in the development of cranial sensory organs, and point mutations underlie craniofacial birth defects.

Albino Xenopus laevis tadpoles prefer dark environments compared to wild type

open access: yesmicroPublication Biology, 2023
Tadpoles display preferences for different environments but the sensory modalities that govern these choices are not well understood. Here, we examined light preferences and associated sensory mechanisms of albino and wild-type Xenopus laevis tadpoles ...

Capillary Electrophoresis Mass Spectrometry for Scalable Single-Cell Proteomics

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2022
Understanding the biochemistry of the cell requires measurement of all the molecules it produces. Single-cell proteomics recently became possible through advances in microanalytical sample preparation, separation by nano-flow liquid chromatography ...

MiR-9 and the Midbrain-Hindbrain Boundary: A Showcase for the Limited Functional Conservation and Regulatory Complexity of MicroRNAs

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
MicroRNAs regulate gene expression at post-transcriptional levels. Some of them appear to regulate brain development and are involved in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Age-associated DNA methylation changes in Xenopus frogs

open access: yesEpigenetics, 2023
Age-associated changes in DNA methylation have been characterized across various animals, but not yet in amphibians, which are of particular interest because they include widely studied model organisms.

Rab7 is required for mesoderm patterning and gastrulation in Xenopus

open access: yesBiology Open, 2021
Early embryogenesis requires tightly controlled temporal and spatial coordination of cellular behavior and signaling. Modulations are achieved at multiple levels, from cellular transcription to tissue-scale behavior.

Xenopus retinal ganglion cell axon extension is unaffected by 5-HT1B/D receptor activation during visual system development

open access: yesmicroPublication Biology, 2023
Activating 5-HT1B/D receptors with the agonist Zolmitriptan was previously shown to facilitate Xenopus retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axon extension from ectopic eye primordia transplanted to the ventral fin.
