Folic acid prevents up to 70% of human neural tube defects (NTD), offering the possibility of effective primary prevention for these crippling birth defects. Recent studies with mouse models of NTD aimed to shed light on two unsolved problems of NTD prevention: 1) the mechanism of action of folic ac

The failure of neural tube closure during early embryogenesis results in a range of neural tube defects (NTD), the most common of which is spina bifida. The role of folic acid in reducing the rate of NTD has been well-established. Three recent cases of infants with NTD inspired this investigative st
