Sonic hedgehog rescues cranial neural crest from cell death induced by ethanol exposure
24 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Alcohol is a teratogen that induces a variety of abnormalities including brain and facial defects [Jones, K. & Smith, D. (1973) Lancet 2, 999-1001], with the exact nature of the deficit depending on the time and magnitude of the dose of ethanol to which developing fetuses are exposed.
