This study shows that external and internal gills in amphibians both originate from a continuous pharyngeal endoderm epithelium, resolving a long-standing developmental question.

This study identifies Regeneration Initiating Cells (RICs) in Xenopus laevis tail regeneration using single cell and spatial transcriptomics, showing their role in initiating regeneration by modifying the extracellular matrix.

The paper uses TOMO-Seq to compare maternal RNA localization across four fish and amphibian species, revealing diverse localization patterns and poor correlation between vegetally localized genes.
