Commensal skin bacteria interact with the innate immunesystem to promote tail regeneration in Xenopus laevis tadpoles.

Phoebe A. Chapman, Robert C. Day, Daniel Hudson, Joanna M. Ward, Xochitl C. Morgan, Caroline W. Beck

The paper shows that Gram-positive skin bacteria and Tlr2 signaling influence tail regeneration in Xenopus laevis tadpoles by promoting regenerative programs over wound healing.

Gene expression analysis of the Xenopus laevis early limb bud proximodistal axis.

Daniel T. Hudson, Jessica S. Bromell, Robert C. Day, Tyler McInnes, Joanna M. Ward, Caroline W. Beck

The paper identifies new candidate genes involved in early proximodistal limb patterning in Xenopus laevis through transcriptional analysis of hindlimb buds.

Manipulating the microbiome alters regenerative outcomes in Xenopus laevis tadpoles via lipopolysaccharide signalling

Phoebe A. Chapman, Campbell B. Gilbert, Thomas J. Devine, Daniel T. Hudson, Joanna M. Ward, Xochitl C. Morgan, Caroline W. Beck

This study shows that the Xenopus laevis tadpole microbiome and lipopolysaccharide signaling influence tail regeneration outcomes, with TLR4 playing a partial role.
