Molecular insights into electroreceptor ribbon synapses from differential gene expression in sturgeon lateral line organs

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 784-805, May 2026.
The expression of various genes involved in synapse development, stability and/or function was studied in developing mechanosensory neuromasts and electrosensory ampullary organs in sterlet sturgeon. Most were shared, including Slc17a8, Slc1a3 and Nrxn3, but Cbln18 was neuromast‐restricted and Tulp1 was ampullary organ‐restricted.

Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship

genesis, Volume 64, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The classical definition of metamorphosis is a post‐embryonic transformation, such as from a tadpole to a froglet. However, recent studies suggest this process occurs to some degree in all vertebrates, as the underlying endocrine and molecular pathways are highly conserved. With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing, transcriptomic data for

Heart regeneration in adult Xenopus tropicalis after apical resection

Cell & Bioscience, 2017
Background Myocardium regeneration in adult mammals is very limited, but has enormous therapeutic potentials. However, we are far from complete understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which heart tissue can regenerate.

Guess Who: Delineating Post‐Metamorphic Amphibian Life Stages and Sexes Using a Standardised Visible Approach

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 4, April 2026.
There is a need for robust criteria that can consistently identify sex and life stage, which should be applicable within populations over time, between populations of the same species, and, if possible, across species within major groups. In this study, we use a multi‐season data set to define adulthood for male and female anurans using externally ...

Sequencing and Analysis of 10967 Full-Length cDNA Clones from Xenopus Laevis and Xenopus Tropicalis [PDF]

, 2005
Sequencing of full-insert clones from full-length cDNA libraries from both Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis has been ongoing as part of the Xenopus Gene Collection initiative. Here we present an analysis of 10967 clones (8049 from X. laevis and 2918

Genome‐Wide Characterization of Sex‐Linked Regions in the Sangzhi Horned Toad (Boulenophrys sangzhiensis) Reveals Complex Sex Determination Mechanisms

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sex chromosomes in amphibians exhibit substantial variability and often remain largely homomorphic, providing a powerful system for studying sex determination. The Sangzhi horned toad (Boulenophrys sangzhiensis) is an ideal model, but limited genomic resources have hindered insights into sex determination mechanisms.

Genome-wide analysis of gene expression during Xenopus tropicalis tadpole tail regeneration [PDF]

, 2011
Background: The molecular mechanisms governing vertebrate appendage regeneration remain poorly understood. Uncovering these mechanisms may lead to novel therapies aimed at alleviating human disfigurement and visible loss of function following injury ...

Zebrafish as a model for Catel–Manzke syndrome—identification and characterization of the zebrafish TGDS ortholog

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 8, Page 2248-2269, April 2026.
Zebrafish Tgds, when expressed as a recombinant protein, catalyzes the dehydration of UDP‐D‐glucose, the initial step in the formation of 6‐deoxyhexoses. Corresponding Tgds mutations found in Catel–Manzke syndrome patients lead to reduced enzymatic activity and stability.

A New Nomenclature of Xenopus laevis Chromosomes Based on the Phylogenetic Relationship to Silurana/Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

, 2015
Xenopus laevis (XLA) is an allotetraploid species which appears to have undergone whole-genome duplication after the interspecific hybridization of 2 diploid species closely related to Silurana/Xenopus tropicalis (XTR). Previous cDNA fluorescence in situ
