Abstract excerpt
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are among the most common structural birth defects observed in humans. Mouse models provide an excellent experimental system to study the underlying causes of NTDs. These models not only allow for identification of the genes required for neurulation, they provide tractable systems for uncovering the developmental, pathological and molecular mechanisms underlying NTDs. In addition, mouse...
