Journal ArticleDOI

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Embryogenesis in a Mouse Model

TL;DR: When two small doses of ethanol were administered to pregnant mice during the gastrulation stage of embryogenesis, the embryos developed craniofacial malformations closely resembling those seen in the human fetal alcohol syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Teratogens and craniofacial malformations: relationships to cell death.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the pattern of craniofacial malformations is related to the particular vulnerability of cells in the vicinity of normal programmed cell death, which represents an important, yet little appreciated, mechanism of teratogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphogenesis of the murine node and notochordal plate.

TL;DR: The morphology of the murine notochordal plate and labeling studies support the concept of origin and rostrocaudal elongation of this structure in large part by accretion of cells from the node, and provide strong evidence that the ventral layer of the node forms notochords whereas the dorsal layer forms floor plate of the neural tube.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genesis of alcohol-induced craniofacial dysmorphism.

TL;DR: The development of an FAS mouse model whose craniofacial features are remarkably similar to those of affected humans is reviewed, based on short-term maternal treatment with a high dosage of ethanol at stages of pregnancy that are equivalent to Weeks 3 and 4 of human gestation.
