Regulation of ALF promoter activity in Xenopus oocytes. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:In this report we evaluate the use of Xenopus laevis oocytes as a matched germ cell system for characterizing the organization and transcriptional activity of a germ cell-specific X. laevis promoter.

Recently, using the frog Xenopus laevis as a model system, we showed that the transcription factor Rfx2 coordinates many genes involved in ciliogenesis and cell movement in multiciliated cells (Chung et al., 2014).

Xenopus laevis tadpoles have maintained their ability to regenerate various organs. Here, the authors show that interleukin-11 is necessary for organ regeneration, by inducing and maintaining undifferentiated progenitors across cell lineages during ...

Gene Structure Analysis of Chemokines and Their Receptors in Allotetraploid Frog, Xenopus laevis
Chemokines, relatively small secreted proteins, are involved in cell migration and function in various biological events, including immunity, morphogenesis, and disease.

Changes in Oscillatory Dynamics in the Cell Cycle of Early Xenopus laevis Embryos
A quantitative study of the Xenopus laevis embryonic cell cycle reveals a transition in the first few cycles between two types of oscillator dynamics to meet two different developmental requirements that increase embryo viability.

Acquisition of Leftward Flow in Xenopus laevis
In Xenopus, the left-right axis is established following an extracellular vectorial leftward flow driven by monocilia at the gastrocoel roof plate (GRP) during late gastrulation / neurulation (Schweickert et al., 2007).

The establishment of the embryonic dorsoventral axis in Xenopus occurs when the radial symmetry around the egg’s animal-vegetal axis is broken to give rise to the typical symmetry of Bilaterians.

Xenopus oocytes are a versatile expression system particularly suited for membrane transporters and channels. Oocytes have little background activity and therefore offer a very high signal-to-noise ratio for transporter and channel characterization. This chapter provides an overview of the basic methods used for the analysis of membrane transporters in

Experimental Embryology in Xenopus Laevis
Xenopus laevis Türk bilim adamları için yeni bir hayvan modelidir. Ana amacımız, laboratuvarımızda FETAX testini (Frog Embryos Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus) kurmaktır. Bu çalışmada, Xenopus'un geniş kullanım alanları tanıtıldıktan sonra laboratuvar koşullarında üreme, besleme, havalandırma ve populasyon yoğunluğu parametreleri sunuldu.

Effective RNAi-mediated β2-microglobulin loss of function by transgenesis in Xenopus laevis
Summary To impair MHC class I (class I) function in vivo in the amphibian Xenopus, we developed an effective reverse genetic loss of function approach by combining I-SceI meganuclease-mediated transgenesis with RNAi technology.
