Loss of tumor protein 53 protects against alcohol‐induced facial malformations in mice and zebrafish

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background Alcohol exposure during the gastrulation stage of development causes the craniofacial and brain malformations that define fetal alcohol syndrome. These malformations, such as a deficient philtrum, are exemplified by a loss of midline tissue and correspond, at least in part, to regionally selective cell death in the embryo. The tumor suppressor protein Tp53 is an important mechanism for cell...
