Regulation of ALF promoter activity in Xenopus oocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 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.

Biomonitoring of the genotoxic potential (micronucleus assay) and detoxifying activity (EROD induction) in the River Dadou (France), using the amphibian Xenopus laevis [PDF]
, 2004 Within the framework of a general survey of the water quality of the river Dadou (Tarn, France), different physicochemical parameters were measured and an inventory of the fish population was made along the water course, around the Rassisse dam.With the ...

Development of the proepicardium in Xenopus laevis [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 2008 AbstractThe proepicardium (PE) is an embryonic progenitor cell population, which provides the epicardium, the majority of the cardiac interstitium, the coronary vasculature and possibly some cardiomyocytes. Recent studies have documented (1) the presence of bilaterally paired PE anlagen in several vertebrates, and (2) species‐specific differences in ...

The Melanogenic System of Xenopus laevis.
Archives of Histology and Cytology, 1998 Melanin pigments in lower vertebrates are often found in locations other than the skin, thus forming an extracutaneous pigmentary system of unknown function. The cellular and biochemical structure of this system is still poorly characterized. This paper deals with the ultrastructural and biochemical features of the melanogenic system of Xenopus laevis.
