These data reveal that basic cartilage maturation features in the head, and to a lesser extent in the limb, are not conserved in Xenopus tropicalis. Future work revealing how frogs deviate from the standard cartilage maturation program might shed light on both evolutionary and health studies. This article is protected by copyright.
