Xkid chromokinesin is required for chromosome alignment on the metaphase plate of spindles formed in Xenopus laevis egg extracts. We have investigated the role of Xkid in Xenopus oocyte meiotic ...

Functional studies in Xenopus laevis oocytes and in opossum kidney cells indicated complete loss of function of the mutant NaPi-IIa, resulting from failure of the transporter to reach the plasma ...

Brangwynne and Feric injected tiny plastic beads into the germinal vesicles—nuclei—of 1 millimeter oocytes from African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis). Beads of different radii moved differently within ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism that may explain how immature human egg cells are able to survive for long periods of time without losing their reproductive capacity, by modifying their ...

Phosphate-Induced Current and Phosphate Uptake in Xenopus laevis Oocytes Injected with Wild-Type or Mutant NPT2a RNA.

First, immature eggs, or oocytes, from the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis were genetically modified to express the proteins known to act as smell receptors.

Scientists have created the world’s first living, self-healing robots using stem cells from frogs. Named xenobots after the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) from which they take their stem ...

Because of its large eggs, Xenopus laevis -- the African clawed frog -- has become a popular model for studying embryo development and cell biology. It's smaller cousin, X. tropicalis, is now ...

Enhanced water recipe and enrichment for oocyte quality and embryo development in the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis). Laboratory Animal Science Professional 7 (1) (March), 43-45.

Amphibian chytrid fungus seems to have spread around the world astride the South African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, which was exported for use as a pregnancy test.

Frog power First, immature eggs, or oocytes, from the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis were genetically modified to express the proteins known to act as smell receptors.
