🐸 Xenopus laevis 💚 The frog that shaped modern developmental biology! ✨ Xenopus embryos have revealed how the body axis forms, cells choose their fate, and tissues self-organize during early development 📹 Video by Bioquest Sudio and Xenbase #ModelMonday #DevBio

🚨Join us today! We are looking forward to seeing you there! 🌎 @niasv.bsky.social @fishfena.bsky.social @sacnas.bsky.social
