This is a review of the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Neural Tube Defects. This was an interdisciplinary meeting with the common emphasis on neural tube defects research. The ...

Precursor cells in the embryonic neural tube are organized in a specific striped pattern which depends on the signals they receive (left). Lehr and colleagues recreated this pattern in a cell culture ...

A preliminary safety signal for neural-tube defects was previously reported in association with dolutegravir exposure from the time of conception, which has affected choices of antiretroviral ...
