No references found | In the case of birth defects, the science is slightly more strongly supported, as there is physical evidence that suggests that teratogens, the very agents that cause defects, have something to do with post birth autism in children. Researchers in a number of disciplines in addition to development and toxicology contribute to discussions of such matters as signal transduction pathways as targets for teratogens, personalized nutrition and medicine in perinatal development, zebrafish as a non-mammalian model of developmental toxicology, integrating whole-animal developmental toxicity data into risk assessment, genomic approaches, and investigating drug effects in human pregnancy. This is because the prenatal teratogen - the substances that cause the abnormalities - act diffusely in the foetal brain, resulting in multiple defects. |
