A standardized human embryoid body platform for the detection and analysis of teratogens. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
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]

open access: yesCell Death Discovery, 2023
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.

Effects of sub-lethal teratogen exposure during larval development on egg laying and egg quality in adult Caenorhabditis elegans [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2016
Background: Acute high dose exposure to teratogenic chemicals alters the proper development of an embryo leading to infertility, impaired fecundity, and few viable offspring.

Association between Genetic Variants in NOS2 and TNF Genes with Congenital Zika Syndrome and Severe Microcephaly

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Zika virus (ZIKV) causes Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS) in individuals exposed prenatally. Here, we investigated polymorphisms in VEGFA, PTGS2, NOS3, TNF, and NOS2 genes as risk factors to CZS. Forty children with CZS and forty-eight children who were in

Genetic Susceptibility to Drug Teratogenicity: A Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
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 ...

Comparative Genomics Identifies Putative Interspecies Mechanisms Underlying Crbn-Sall4-Linked Thalidomide Embryopathy

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
The identification of thalidomide–Cereblon-induced SALL4 degradation has brought new understanding for thalidomide embryopathy (TE) differences across species. Some questions, however, regarding species variability, still remain.

Teratogenicity with Olanzapine

open access: yesIndian Journal of Psychological Medicine, 2014
Olanzapine, a 2(nd) generation antipsychotic, is in use in the clinical practice for nearly a decade and a half now. It is classified as a category C drug with very few reports of its toxic effects on the fetus. In general, the risk benefit analysis warrants its use in pregnancy.
