Researchers discovered that the brains of developing frog embryos damaged by nicotine exposure can be repaired by treatment with certain drugs -- ionoceuticals -- that drive the recovery of ...

Scientists led by biologists at Tufts University say they have discovered that the brains of developing frog embryos damaged by nicotine exposure can be repaired by treatment with “ionoceuticals” that ...

Nov. 22 (UPI) --Most frogs lay dozens of eggs and leave. The tadpoles-to-be are on their own from the start. In a new study, scientists examined why some frog moms stick around to help raise their ...

A synthetic version of a molecule found in the egg cells of the Northern Leopard frog (Rana pipiens) could provide the world with the first drug treatment for brain tumours. Known as Amphinase, the ...

A new study of autism risk genes by UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley scientists implicates disruption in prenatal neurogenesis - a process in which specialized "progenitor" cells give rise to new ...
