Carlson, B. M., The regeneration of axolotl limbs covered by frog skin.
He brought a handbag made from frog skin — a gift for the wife of one of the officials.
Originally designed to study vectorial ion transport through the frog skin, it has revolutionized our knowledge about how eletrolytes permeate epithelia.
The researchers named the cells "pulmonary ionocytes" due to similarities with ionocytes, a type of cell that regulates salt balance and is found in the gills of freshwater fish and in frog skin.
As costumed by Isaac Mizrahi, Platée may look ridiculous, with her frog skin, webbed feet and hands, and a sagging breast and tummy disguised by a sheer greenish gown.
Sheep like soldiers, stones like cheeses, stones like sheep, sheep like picture-restorers, sheep's eyes like frog skin, sheep's pupils like slate baths... this joyful promiscuity of comparison is characteristic of Deakin's prose.
The black oblongs of their pupils set deep in eyes the colour and texture of frog skin are like the enormous slate coffin-baths you see in the farmyards here; seven-foot slabs of slate hollowed into baths.
Of note, Bv8, a small colipase fold protein from frog skin, which is able to potently stimulate intestinal contraction in vitro, has no effect in standard Wnt signaling assays (G Kreil, A Glinka and C Niehrs, unpublished).
Wraiths only scare people, centaurs only awe people, and unicorns, aside from some healing properties in their horns, akin to the antibiotics in frog skin, only attract virgins which, power-wise, puts them at the same level as boy bands.
The colipase fold is found in a wide range of proteins other than colipases, including, for example, toxins from funnel web spider (Szeto et al., 2000), black mamba (Boisbouvier et al., 1998) and frog skin (Bv8) as well as in protease inhibitors (Kaser et al., 2003).
We examined the effects of cisplatin on a representative, transporting epithelium--the frog skin.
