The changes in saline-soluble, 0.35 M NaCl-soluble and the residual fraction of nuclear proteins during early development ofXenopus were studied by analytical electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel. The fractions were obtained by consecutive extraction of nuclei from the blastula, neurula and tail-bud stage of development. No qualitative and only limited quantitative differences were found when the proteins of any of the three fractions isolated from the neurula stage were compared with the proteins of the corresponding fraction isolated from the tail-bud stage. But the electrophoretic pattern of each of the three fractions of the nuclear proteins from the blastula stage differs significantly from the electrophoretic pattern of the same fraction isolated from the neurula or tail-bud stage. Compared with the blastula stage, in the two later stages the relative amounts of chromosomal proteins with apparent molecular weights below 30,000 are decreased. Proteins which migrate in electrophoresis in the positions of the very lysine-rich histones and of the proteins of the nuclear ribonucleo-protein particles are indicated among the chromosomal proteins of the blastula stage, and are visible as strong bands in the electrophorogram of 0.35 M NaCl-soluble proteins extracted from neurula or tail-bud stage nuclei.

Background: Regeneration is the replacement of lost or damaged tissue with a functional copy. In axolotls and zebrafish, regeneration involves stem cells produced by de-differentiation. These cells form a growth zone which expresses developmental patterning genes at its apex.

Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19), and its rodent ortholog FGF15, is a member of a FGF subfamily directly involved in metabolism, acting in an endocrine way. During embryonic development, FGF15/FGF19 also functions as a paracrine or autocrine factor, regulating key events in a large number of organs. In this sense, the Fgf15/Fgf19 genes control the correct development of the brain, eye, inner ear, heart, pharyngeal pouches, tail bud and limbs, among other organs, as well as muscle growth in adulthood.

Background: The 3Rs (Reduction, Refinement, Replacement) principle is driving the need for alternative methods in animal testing. Despite advancements in in vitro testing, complex systemic toxicity tests still necessitate in vivo approaches. The aim of this study was to develop a developmental toxicity test protocol using the Iberian ribbed newt () as a model organism, integrating AI image analysis for embryo selection to improve test accuracy and reproducibility.

Article Synopsis
- Some animals like fish and frogs can grow back parts of their bodies, but reptiles, birds, and mammals (amniotes) can't do this as well.
- Scientists think that changes like better immune systems, tough skin, warm blood, and bigger body sizes made it harder for amniotes to regrow parts.
- The loss of special genes that help with regrowth happened later, which might mean that evolution took time to adjust how animals develop as these changes happened.

Underwater noise pollution has become a potential threat to aquatic animals in the natural environment. The main causes of such pollution are frequent human activities creating underwater environmental noise, including commercial shipping, offshore energy platforms, scientific exploration activities, etc. However, in aquaculture environments, underwater noise pollution has also become an unavoidable problem due to background noise created by aquaculture equipment.
