Abstract:
The African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, and the Western clawed frog, Xenopus tropicalis, have been foundational model organisms for establishing key principles of embryonic development. Today, the utility of Xenopus has been greatly expanded for studying a wide range of biological processes both in health and disease. Here, we describe the latest advancements from the Xenopus community, which span the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organismal scales.
