Alcohol induces neural tube defects by reducing retinoic acid signaling and promoting neural plate expansion

20 views | Feb 03 2024

Reduced retinoic acid signaling, induced by inhibitors or ethanol exposure, disrupts early neuroectodermal network regulation, increasing neural precursor proliferation and expanding the neural plate, thereby leading to the induction of neural tube defects during embryogenesis.

CNKSR2, a downstream mediator of retinoic acid signaling, modulates the Ras/Raf/MEK pathway to regulate patterning and invagination of the chick forebrain roof plate

49 views | Mar 02 2023

The study found that CNKSR2, a novel mediator of retinoic acid (RA) signaling, plays a crucial role in the morphogenesis of the avian forebrain by modulating the Ras/Raf/MEK signaling, leading to proper invagination, cell proliferation, and patterning of the roof plate for the formation of the cerebral hemispheres.
