Check out this new study on the role of inflammation on the regenerating of Xenopus retina by Muriel Perron and collaborators in Science Advances! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Neuroinflammation as a cause of differential Müller cell regenerative responses to retinal injury

The neuroinflammatory microenvironment is pivotal in triggering retinal regeneration.

Spinal neuron diversity scales exponentially with swim-to-limb transformation during frog metamorphosis

Vertebrates exhibit a wide range of motor behaviors, ranging from swimming to complex limb-based movements. Here we take advantage of frog metamorphosis, which captures a swim-to-limb-based movement t...

Interesting. Used many of them for years as stimuli in olfactory research (Xenopus larvae), but never tasted them myself.

Functional expression and ligand identification of homo- and heteromeric Drosophila melanogaster CO2 receptors in the Xenopus laevis oocyte system

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important olfactory cue in Drosophila melanogaster and can elicit both attractive and aversive behaviors. It is detected by gustatory receptors, Gr21a and Gr63a, found in th...

Ha harrr etc, I do think you'll enjoy this little book particularly. The Kindle version costs less than a shiny English pound, so what do you have to lose? Read the Alt-text for a swashbuckling precis. mybook.to/PirateCrow#books
