It is absolutely crazy to think we no longer need model organism research. https://t.co/zOEHGA4K7p

A nice paper that used X. laevis from the NXR!
Check out the Brownlee Lab's first publication and journal cover in @emboreports 🎉Cover image showcases neural progenitor cells in a developing Xenopus brain taken at @cshlxeno course🐸! https://t.co/Xa6Wi4BdBq

Let @NIHDirector_Jay and @MartyMakary know there is strong support for animal models. They are essential for biomedical research
https://t.co/q9x70xVVLs Please watch video and post a comment in support of use of animal models. They are seeking our input and if we don’t provide it then they will simply say well we didn’t hear anything

Nice new paper using the tuba1a:MyrPalm-mRFP transgenic line from the NXR!
Super excited that our paper is out. It describes a new mechanism for dealing with tissue crowding that does not involve cell extrusion. https://t.co/8CJzCS2MRl

Please read and share this opinion piece written by Carole LaBonne (our fellow Xenopus researcher) published in STAT in support for animal models in biomedical research. https://t.co/BCEGi6aW2M

The NIH is “reducing animal use in research.” But there is no replacement for animal models.

There’s still time to submit abstracts to this conference. Looking forward to seeing people at the conference. NXR will be there to answer any questions you have and discuss opportunities to use NXR resources.

The MBL hosts the @XenopusNXR, which serves as a national stock center for X. laevis and X. tropicalis. 🐸 Our frog ranchers raise thousands of individuals and develop new experimental tools and husbandry techniques to support the Xenopus research community. 📷: Molly Herring

So many mechanisms that determine whether an embryo develops into a male or female in the frog genus Xenopus. How did these mechanisms evolved? Happy to share our new paper: Rapid Sex Chromosome Turnover in African Clawed Frogs (Xenopus) and the Origins..

Abstract. Sex chromosomes of some closely related species are not homologous, and sex chromosome turnover is often attributed to mechanisms that involve li
