Cellular principles of Xenopus appendage regeneration
Unlike humans, some animals can regenerate their lost appendages, such as limbs and tails. To identify cellular principles driving this ability, I investigated Xenopus laevis tadpoles. Tadpoles can regrow their lost tails ... -
Dynamics of Germ Cell Specific Stable Transcriptional Complexes in Xenopus Oocytes
Early animal development depends largely on the activation/expression of genes, and this often depends on the binding of transcription factors to genomic DNA sequences on which they act. This is particularly true of genes ... -
The steaks are high: Reducing meat consumption by changing physical and economic environments to increase vegetarian sales
