Mechanisms of tail resorption during anuran metamorphosis
Biomolecular Concepts, 2017 Amphibian metamorphosis has historically attracted a good deal of scientific attention owing to its dramatic nature and easy observability. However, the genetic mechanisms of amphibian metamorphosis have not been thoroughly examined using modern ...

Actin in Xenopus oocytes [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1978 It has been found that a high-speed supernatant fraction from Xenopus oocytes extracted in the cold will form a clear, solid gel upon warming. Gel formation occurs within 60 min at 18 degrees-40 degrees C, and is, at least initially, temperature reversible. Gelation is strictly dependent upon the addition of sucrose to the extraction medium.

Retinoic acid-activated Ndrg1a represses Wnt/β-catenin signaling to allow Xenopus pancreas, oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum specification. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 How cells integrate multiple patterning signals to achieve early endoderm regionalization remains largely unknown. Between gastrulation and neurulation, retinoic acid (RA) signaling is required, while Wnt/β-catenin signaling has to be repressed for the ...

Transposon transgenesis in Xenopus [PDF]
Methods, 2010 Transposon-mediated integration strategies in Xenopus offer simple and robust methods for the generation of germline transgenic animals. Co-injection of fertilized one-cell embryos with plasmid DNA harboring a transposon transgene and synthetic mRNA encoding the cognate transposase enzyme results in mosaic integration of the transposon at early ...

Evi5 is required for Xenopus limb and tail regeneration
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Amphibians such as salamanders and the African clawed frog Xenopus are great models for regeneration studies because they can fully regenerate their lost organs.

mNanog possesses dorsal mesoderm-inducing ability by modulating both BMP and Activin/nodal signaling in Xenopus ectodermal cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND:In Xenopus early embryogenesis, various genes are involved with mesoderm formation. In particular, dorsal mesoderm contains the organizer region and induces neural tissues through the inhibition of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We identify USP29 as the only DUB mirroring CA9 expression, a marker of hypoxia and HIF pathway activation associated with PCA aggressiveness. USP29 stabilizes HIF‐1α and HIF‐2α via a noncanonical mechanism that is independent of PHD/pVHL activity yet relies on proteasomal regulation, establishing USP29 as a previously unrecognized regulator of hypoxic

Comparative Analysis of Cartilage Marker Gene Expression Patterns during Axolotl and Xenopus Limb Regeneration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) can completely regenerate lost limbs, whereas Xenopus laevis frogs cannot. During limb regeneration, a blastema is first formed at the amputation plane.

Cilia, 2015 Xenopus has been one of the earliest and most important vertebrate model organisms for investigating the role and structure of basal bodies. Early transmission electron microscopy studies in Xenopus revealed the fine structures of Xenopus basal bodies and their accessory structures.
