The neural tube defects anencephaly and spina bifida are important causes of infant mortality and morbidity. Recent studies suggest that many of these defects can be prevented by the periconceptional ...

New step in molecular pathway found responsible for neural tube defects, a birth defect that is increased in diabetic pregnancies Date: November 6, 2014 Source: Joslin Diabetes Center Summary: A ...

Neural tube defects are birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. They occur in the first month of pregnancy. The two most common are spina bifida and anencephaly. In the first, the fetal spinal ...

For women on dolutegravir since conception, five neural tube defects occurred out of 1,683 births (.3%). For women on the drug efavirenz since conception, there were three cases of neural tube ...

In this webinar we covered the management of fetuses diagnosed with open neural tube defects. We had five speakers who discussed different techniques that are available to perform in utero repair of ...

The p53 gene stops tumors from forming. Now researchers have found that the tumor-suppressing gene also has a critical role in the formation of the neural tube in female embryos. The neural tube is ...

"We saw how the cells reached across the open neural tube with their protrusions to contact the opposite side—the more protrusions the cells formed, the faster the tube zipped up," Dr. White said.

A gene related to neural tube defects in dogs has for the first time been identified by researchers at the University of California, Davis, and University of Iowa. The researchers also found evidence ...
