Limbs generated at site of tail amputation in marbled balloon frog after vitamin A treatment.
TL;DR: It is shown that vitamin A can cause limb development when applied to amputated tail stumps of the tadpoles of the marbled balloon frog Uperodon systoma (Anura Microhylidae), the first report of homeotic transformation mediated through vitamin A in vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial Peptides Derived From Insects Offer a Novel Therapeutic Option to Combat Biofilm: A Review.

TL;DR: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have a broad spectrum of activity and the potential to bypass the resistance mechanisms of classical antibiotics as mentioned in this paper, and they may well act synergistically with classical antibiotics for a double-pronged attack on infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin A‐Mediated Homeotic Transformation of Tail to Limbs, Limb Suppression and Abnormal Tail Regeneration in the Indian Jumping Frog Polypedates maculatus
TL;DR: Results indicate that in addition to traumatic effects, vitamin A can lead to homeotic transformation of the tail into hindlimbs and can also interfere with normal development of limbs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in oxidative stress parameters and acid phosphatase activity in the pre-regressing and regressing tail of Indian jumping frog Polypedates maculatus (Anura, Rhacophoridae).
TL;DR: A positive correlation was noticed in the tail of tadpoles during different developmental stages, suggesting a critical interaction between reactive oxygen species and lysosomal activity during metamorphosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hematology of wild caught Dubois's tree frog Polypedates teraiensis, Dubois, 1986 (Anura: Rhacophoridae).
TL;DR: Hematological parameters that differed significantly between sexes were RBC count, length and breadth of RBC, neutrophil %, N/L ratio, area occupied by basophils, and diameter of large lymphocyte and eosinophils.
