Adjacent pioneer commissural interneuron growth cones switch from contact avoidance to axon fasciculation after midline crossing
Article Abstract:
The role of commissural interneuron interactions in Xenopus vertebrate spinal cord are described, focusing on the point when axons turn longitudinally after crossing the midline and the resultant series of dorsal adjustments.

Calcium signaling differentiation during Xenopus oocyte maturation
Article Abstract:
Transport effectors of Ca(2+) are tightly modulated during Xenopus oocycte maturation; processes are described for maintaining elevated cytoplasmic Ca(2+) necessary for initiating embryonic development.
