4-Methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM) affects viability, development, and movement of Xenopus embryos
Toxicology Reports, 2021 Following chemical spill disasters, it is important to estimate the effects of spilled chemicals on humans and the environment. Here we analyzed the toxicological effects of the coal cleaning chemical, 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM), which was ...

Evolutionary importance of translation elongation factor eEF1A variant switching:eEF1A1 down-regulation in muscle is conserved in Xenopus but is controlled at a post-transcriptional level [PDF]
, 2011 Translation elongation isoform eEF1A1 has a pivotal role in protein synthesis and is almost ubiquitously expressed. In mice and rats that transcription of the gene encoding eEF1A1 is downregulated to undetectable levels in muscle after weaning; eEF1A1 is

Jumping performance in the highly aquatic frog, Xenopus tropicalis : sex-specific relationships between morphology and performance [PDF]
, 2014 Frogs are characterized by a morphology that has been suggested to be related to their unique jumping specialization. Yet, the functional demands associated with jumping and swimming may not be that different as suggested by studies with semi-aquatic ...

Decoding development in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]
genesis, 2007 AbstractXenopus tropicalis is rapidly being adopted as a model organism for developmental biology research and has enormous potential for increasing our understanding of how embryonic development is controlled. In recent years there has been a well‐organized initiative within the Xenopus community, funded largely through the support of the National ...

Genetic Analysis of Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]
, 2012 The pipid frog Xenopus tropicalis has emerged as a powerful new model system for combining genetic and genomic analysis of tetrapod development with robust embryological, molecular, and biochemical assays. Its early development closely resembles that of its well-understood relative X.

A zinc transporter gene required for development of the nervous system. [PDF]
, 2013 The essentiality of zinc for normal brain development is well established. It has been suggested that primary and secondary zinc deficiencies can contribute to the occurrence of numerous human birth defects, including many involving the central nervous ...
