The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), also known as simply xenopus, African clawed toad, African claw-toed frog or the platanna) is a species of African aquatic frog of the family Pipidae. Its name is derived from the short black claws on its feet. The word Xenopus means 'strange foot' and laevis means 'smooth'.
Xenopus embryos for in vivo studies of human disease gene function: Xenopus embryos are large and easily manipulated, and moreover, thousands of embryos can be obtained in a single day. Indeed, Xenopus was the first vertebrate animal for which methods were developed to allow rapid analysis of gene function using misexpression (by mRNA injection ...
Xenops is a genus in the bird family Furnariidae, the ovenbirds.The genus comprises four species of xenops, all of which are found in Mexico, Central America and South America, particularly in tropical rain forests.
Xenobots, named after the clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), [1] are synthetic lifeforms that are designed by computers to perform some desired function and built by combining together different biological tissues.
It is the only species in the genus Xenopus to have a diploid genome. [3] [4] Its genome has been sequenced, [5] [6] making it a significant model organism for genetics that complements the related species Xenopus laevis (the African clawed frog), [7] a widely used vertebrate model for developmental biology.

Lancelot Thomas Hogben FRS [1] FRSE (9 December 1895 – 22 August 1975) was a British experimental zoologist and medical statistician. He developed the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) as a model organism for biological research in his early career, attacked the eugenics movement in the middle of his career, and wrote popular books on science, mathematics and language in his later career.
Researchers think this may mean that only certain regions of subchondral bone may be more affected by menopause. Estradiol and progesterone treatment may improve cartilage health.
