A standardized human embryoid body platform for the detection and analysis of teratogens. [PDF]
Teratogens are compounds that can induce birth defects upon exposure of the developing fetus. To date, most teratogen studies utilize pregnant rodents to determine compound teratogenicity in vivo.

Transcriptome-based prediction of drugs, inhibiting cardiomyogenesis in human induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Summary Animal studies for embryotoxicity evaluation of potential therapeutics and environmental factors are complex, costly, and time-consuming. Often, studies are not of human relevance because of species differences.

Genetic Susceptibility to Drug Teratogenicity: A Systematic Literature Review
Since the 1960s, drugs have been known to cause teratogenic effects in humans. Such teratogenicity has been postulated to be influenced by genetics. The aim of this review was to provide an overview of the current knowledge on genetic susceptibility to ...
