and the skeletal and connective tissues that protect them, are common malformations …

The formation of the embryonic brain and spinal cord begins as the neural plate bends to
form the neural folds, which meet and adhere to close the neural tube. The neural ectoderm …

Periconceptual exposure to subfertility treatments is increasingly common, raising concerns
about the possibility of malformations in the offspring. The authors conducted a case-control …

Four separate initiation sites for neural tube (NT) fusion have been demonstrated recently in
mice and other experimental animals. We evaluated the question of whether the mult‐site …
