Case‐malformed signal detection and prioritisation using EUROmediCAT data for pharmacovigilance in pregnancy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Many women take medications during pregnancy. However, the risk to the fetus from most medications is uncertain. Congenital anomalies are one of the leading causes of infant death and contribute to long‐term disability. Signal detection methods can be used to systematically identify possible medication–anomaly associations that require further ...

Loss of Twist1 leads to disruption of ciliary length, endocytic vesicle dynamics, and cell–cell junctions during neural tube formation

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Endocytosis constitutes a fundamental cellular process governing development through coordinated regulation of plasma membrane remodeling and ciliogenesis, processes essential for cell shape changes and tissue development. Although Twist1 null embryos display complete cranial neural tube (NT) closure defects and conditional knockout
