Hair is a quintessential feature in mammals, and the tropical clawed frog, despite being hairless, has surprisingly provided invaluable insights into the roots of this characteristic trait.

The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is the most commonly used frog in biological research 1. It is the model amphibian in developmental and molecular biology because, among other ...

The research was published in Nature Communications. The MedUni Vienna research team, working with the University of Ghent (Belgium), employed the tropical clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis) as an ...

I am especially interested in the molecular pathways underlying this process. My lab studies these questions in the developing visual system of the Xenopus laevis tadpole. Because these tadpoles are ...

To address these questions at the molecular level, my lab focuses on the developing visual system of the Xenopus laevis tadpole. Retinal ganglion cells in the eye project their axons to the optic ...
