Georgia Tech researchers demonstrated the mechanics behind neural tube closure, which can lead to severe or fatal birth defects if unsuccessful.

In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly. Georgia Tech physicists are now helping explain why this happens, having ...

Neural tube defects (NTDs) rank as the second most prevalent congenital malformation in humans, impacting the central nervous system development in approximately 1 in every 1,000 live births. Over 300 ...
