Larva of Xenopus laevis without heart. The heart primordium was removed at the early tailbud stage and the embryo was raised for 12 days. In the experimental series, the extirpated heart anlage was rescued by transplantation of heart tissue cultured under in vitro conditions. For details see "Amphibian embryos as a model system for organ engineering: in vitro induction and rescue of the heart anlage" by H. Grunz in this issue.
