Neural tube defects are serious congenital malformations which can be prevented by
periconceptional folic acid supplementation. We hypothesize that folic acid provides the methyl …

We predicted, and have now observed, a surface contraction wave in axolotl (Ambystoma
mexicanum) embryos that appears to coincide temporally and spatially with primary neural …

We have discovered a series of expansion and contraction, solitary waves that correlate
with discrete steps of differentiation in the urodele amphibian axolotl embryo (Ambystoma …

Embryology has reached a critical juncture. On the one hand, we are tripping over a mass of
genetic and molecular biology “evidence”(Davidson, 1986; De Pomerai, 1990; Lawrence, …

Background A major deficit of all approaches to epidemic modelling to date has been the
need to approximate or guess at human behaviour in disease-transmission-related contexts. …

Introduction The C677T MTHFR variant has been associated with the same third trimester
pregnancy complications as seen in women who have elevations of maternal serum α-…

Statement of problem: We have shown that the C677T 5,10 methylenetetrahydrofolate
reductase (MTHFR) variant is associated with elevated maternal serum α-fetoprotein (MSAFP), …

(Ambystoma mex; canum) embryo (a urodelan amphibian) from the midblastula transition up
to at least neural tube closure, and wished to learn if similar" differentiation waves" appear …

The frequency dependent dielectric properties of individual axolotl embryos (Ambystoma
mexicanum) were investigated experimentally utilizing the technique of electrorotation. …

Clinicians define the state of being overweight or obese by body mass index (BMI), which is
calculated by body mass in kilograms divided by the square of the person’s height in meters. …
