Primate brains vary dramatically in size and organization, but the genetic and
developmental basis for these differences has been difficult to study due to lack of …

Embryonic stem cell differentiation models have increasingly been applied in non-animal
test systems for developmental toxicity. After the initial focus on cardiac differentiation …

Epidemiological studies suggest cigarette smoking as a probable environmental factor for a
variety of congenital anomalies, including low bone mass, increased fracture risk and poor …

To prevent congenital defects arising from maternal exposure, safety regulations require pre-
market developmental toxicity screens for industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals …

Epidemiological investigations have found that air fine particulate matter (PM) exposure not
only causes respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in adults and children, but also affects …

Tobacco smoke contains between 7000 and 10,000 constituents, and only an evanescently
low number of which have been identified, let alone been evaluated for their toxicity …

Epidemiological studies suggest tobacco consumption as a probable environmental factor
for a variety of congenital anomalies, including low bone mass and increased fracture risk …

We previously used a chemical genetics approach with the larval zebrafish to identify small
molecule inhibitors of tissue regeneration. This led to the discovery that glucocorticoids (GC) …

The terms developmental toxicity and embryotoxicity are becoming prominent in today's
research, drawing attention to the harmful toxicants pregnant women are exposed to on a …

Chemical exposure may potentially affect embryonic developmental structures and their
function. Since toxic agents can be found within everyday workplaces, houses, and natural …
