A new study finds that low concentrations of the chemical methylisothiazolinone has subtle but measurable negative effects on the neural development of tadpoles. The chemical is found in some ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Previous studies have shown how the thyroid hormone receptor alpha plays a key function in hind limb development in frogs. Using advanced gene mutation technology, scientists have been able to mutate ...

Amphibians face increasing risks from habitat loss, climate change, pollution and emerging diseases. One such disease, ranavirus, has been linked to mass die-offs of frogs and salamanders worldwide.

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 ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- Scientists, health officials, and manufacturers already know that a chemical preservative found in some products, including cosmetics, is harmful to people and ...
