Transparent frogs in Hiroshima

The latest hybrid product of the Amphibian Research Institute at Hiroshima University: the frog has so much " clear " skin that outsiders can see through every detail of the five organs.

Professor Masayuki Sumida, the leader of the research team, said: "This penetrating animal will be very useful in studying diseases as well as in medical treatment, because it allows scientists to check the condition." Internal organs and blood vessels that do not need to cause the ' patient ' to be crippled.

The result of selective hybrid of two Japanese brown frogs ( Rana japonica ) - they are inherently skinless, F2 generation frogs have the ability to keep skin color throughout until the end of life. While most of the transparent organisms that exist on the earth reside deep in the ocean, this case of four-legged transparent animals is extremely rare, if not the first time.

The researchers claim, not only does the frogs produce transparent frogs, but even glowing frogs are at their fingertips, by injecting around the protein into the frog's gene. The glowing frog can help professionals study some 'problematic' genes by observing its progress in the body.

'Here, the transparent frog will be a particularly useful experimental animal because it can reduce costs as well as the difficulty of observing the progress of cancer, the aging of internal organs. as well as the effect of chemicals on them. '
