Flexible electrodes were implanted into tadpole embryos when they were days old - Liu Lab/Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Cyborg tadpoles with electrodes grown into their brains ...

This cool timelapse shows tadpoles develop over the course of 4 minutes. We don't get to see them turn into frogs, but they sprout little legs and begin taking on a new shape. I love how It looks like ...

1. High-latitude species (and populations within species) are adapted to short and cold summers. They often have high growth and development rates to fully use the short growing season and mature ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Paranapiacaba Treefrogs mate and lay spawn in small pools of water inside the tanks of bromeliad plants, researchers report. The 3 cm-long tadpoles must then make their way to a stream to complete ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

A group of researchers from the University of Jyvaskyla and Stanford University were part of an expedition to French Guiana to study tropical frogs in the Amazon. Various amphibian species of this ...

Inside the African clawed frog, intestines grow just like humans’: neatly coiled counterclockwise. Experiments now show how that process can go awry. Interfering with tadpoles’ metabolism leads to a ...

Some tadpoles break the rules of biology. Instead of developing lungs as they grow, they lose them entirely and still manage to survive. A recent study from Cornell University found that these ...
