The ecology and evolution of the model species Xenopus laevis

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The African clawed frog Xenopus laevis has been a cornerstone of experimental biology for over a century, but its value as a model organism extends far beyond embryology.

Sox9 and Vasa Gene Expression During Gonadal Differentiation in Larvae of the Urodele Amphibian Ambystoma mexicanum

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study of genes involved in sexual differentiation, as Vasa and Sox9, is of great importance, as they serve as specific markers for the germline and the male differentiation pathway, respectively. This study characterized using immunofluorescence the expression of the Vasa and Sox9 genes and laminin during gonadal differentiation in larvae ...

Sex-specific functional evolution of Dmrt1 in African clawed frogs (Xenopus), and the importance of genetic tipping points in developmental biology.

PLoS Genetics
The doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 1 (dmrt1) plays a crucial role in metazoan sexual differentiation. This gene, or its paralogs, independently became triggers for sex determination several times, including in the tetraploid African ...

Selective excitatory effects of γ‐glutamyl‐glycine, a glutathione metabolite, on GluN1 NMDA and mGlu5 receptors impacting synaptic plasticity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Gamma‐glutamyl dipeptides are essentially produced after glutathione (GSH) degradation. While several γ‐glutamyl dipeptides have been detected in different organs and body fluids, their biological activity remains elusive. This is the case for γ‐Glutamyl‐Glycine (γ‐Glu‐Gly) which has been found in different brain areas.

Kv12.1 channels are not sensitive to GqPCR-triggered activation of phospholipase Cβ

Channels, 2018
Kv12.1 K+ channels are expressed in several brain areas, but no physiological function could be attributed to these subunits so far. As genetically-modified animal models are not available, identification of native Kv12.1 currents must rely on ...

Iloperidone treatment mitigates the Juvenile Huntington's Disease phenotype possibly via Sigma‐1 Receptor Modulation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We investigated the potential of iloperidone as an activator of Sigma‐1 receptor (S1R) neuroprotective function in juvenile Huntington's disease (jHD). We tested iloperidone on cortical neurons differentiated from patient‐derived iPSCs, demonstrating that it acts as a S1R agonist, decreasing apoptosis, huntingtin aggregation, and oxidative stress ...
