  abstract: "Xenopus frogs have long been used as model organisms in basic and biomedical research. These frogs have helped unlock basic developmental and cellular processes that have led to scientific breakthroughs and have had practical application in cancer research and regenerative medicine. Xenopus Developmentdiscusses the biology and development of this important genus, and will be a great tool to researchers using these frogs in their research. Divided into four sections, the highlights key Xenopus development from embryo to metamorphosis, and the cellular processes, organogenesis, and biological development"--
  abstract: "Provides broad overview of the developmental biology of both Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis"--
