Ethanol induces morphological and dynamic changes on in vivo and in vitro neural crest cells.
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is an embryopathology related to maternal alcohol drinking. The information concerning the factors involved in the prenatal mechanisms of ethanol action at the cellular and molecular levels is scarce. Because several abnormal changes in FAS involve regions colonized by cell lineages derived from neural crest cells (NCCs), it is reasonable to propose that epigenetic...
