Nude Frog
Written by WTJ on September 23, 2007 – 2:27 pm -
Another laboratory model organism had been breed, which is the translucent frog created by Hiroshima University’s Institute for Amphibian Biology research team, lead by professor Masayuki Sumida.
The skin of this mutated frog allows researchers to see the internal organs without dissecting. The development of the frog reminds me of the creation of nude mouse by Rosalyn Yalow. Unlike the frog, nude mouse are immunologically dysfunction and more expensive.
