In vivo spike-timing-dependent plasticity in the optic tectum of Xenopus laevis by Richards, B, Aizenman, C, Akerman, C

“…Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is found in vivo in a variety of systems and species, but the first demonstrations of in vivo STDP were carried out in the optic tectum of Xenopus laevis embryos. Since then, the optic tectum has served as an excellent experimental model for studying STDP in sensory systems, allowing researchers to probe the developmental consequences of this form of synaptic plasticity during early development. …”

Regulation of melanoblast and retinal pigment epithelium development by Xenopus laevis Mitf. by Kumasaka, M, Sato, S, Yajima, I, Goding, C, Yamamoto, H

“…To understand better the role of Mitf, we have used the Xenopus laevis experimental system to allow a rapid examination of the role of Mitf in vivo. …”

Properties of cloned ATP-sensitive K+ currents expressed in Xenopus oocytes. by Gribble, F, Ashfield, R, Ammälä, C, Ashcroft, F

“…We have studied the electrophysiological properties of cloned ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP channels) heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes. This channel comprises a sulphonylurea receptor subunit (SUR) and an inwardly rectifying K+ channel subunit (Kir). 2. …”

Impaired spermatogenesis and associated endocrine effects of azole fungicides in peripubertal Xenopus tropicalis by Sofie Svanholm, Vanessa Brouard, Mauricio Roza, Daniele Marini, Oskar Karlsson, Cecilia Berg

“…Here, we characterize endocrine and adverse effects on the reproductive system after juvenile exposure to propiconazole (PROP) or imazalil (IMZ), two common azole fungicides with complex endocrine modes of action. Using the frog Xenopus tropicalis, two short-term (2-weeks) studies were conducted. …”

The cellular basis of cartilage growth and shape change in larval and metamorphosing Xenopus frogs by Christopher S. Rose

“…Histology and immunohistochemistry are used to describe and quantify patterns and trends in chondrocyte size, shape, division, death, and arrangement, and in percent matrix from hatchling to froglet for the lower jaw, hyoid and branchial arch cartilages of Xenopus laevis. The results are interpreted and integrated into programs of cell behaviors that account for the larval growth and histology, and metamorphic remodeling of each element. …”

Boric acid transport activity of marine teleost aquaporins expressed in Xenopus oocytes by Shiori Kumagai, Erika Watanabe, Naoko Hayashi, Yuuri Kimura, Takehiro Kamiya, Ayumi Nagashima, Kazutaka Ushio, Genki Imaizumi, Juhyun Kim, Keijiro Munakata, Takahiro Umezawa, Shigehisa Hirose, Koji Kasai, Toru Fujiwara, Michael F. Romero, Akira Kato

“…To investigate the potential roles of Aqps on boric acid transport across the plasma membrane in marine teleosts, we analyzed the function of Aqps of Japanese pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes) expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Takifugu genome database contains 16 genes encoding the aquaporin family members (aqp0a, aqp0b, aqp1aa, aqp1ab, aqp3a, aqp4a, aqp7, aqp8bb, aqp9a, aqp9b, aqp10aa, aqp10bb, aqp11a, aqp11b, aqp12, and aqp14). …”
