Paperback. Highlighting latest advances in genetics and biochemistry, the completely revised Third Edition reviews the field from basic science, clinical, epidemiological, and regulatory perspectives. Contributions from top opinion leaders in the field bring together developments in molecular embryology and cell biology as they apply to problems in developmental toxicology. It covers testing of pharmaceutical and environmental agents and interpretation of developmental toxicology data, highlighting mathematical and statistical techniques, as well as the effects of toxic exposure on the functional development of various organs.The relationship between maternal and developmental toxicology is examined, in addition to current techniques for studying chemical disposition, metabolism, and placental transfer. Close attention is given to the regulatory aspects of testing and risk assessment. Pre- and postconceptional clinical care and genetic factors in clinical developmental toxicology are also discussed.Key topics include: the roles of apoptosis and signal transduction pathways in normal and abnormal developmentthe role of epigenetic changes in developmentthe role of nutrition and individual susceptibilitythe utility of bioinformaticsglobal and targeted gene expression changes Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

HANSEN is a research biologist in the Division of Genetic and Reproductive Toxicology, the National Center for Toxicological Research, Jefferson and Adjunct Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Interdisciplinary Toxicology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. She received her M.S. in genetics from Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa and her Ph.D. in medical genetics from Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Dr. Hansen is a member of both the Teratology Society, of which she is Secretary, and the Society of Toxicology. She has contributed to numerous peer-reviewed publications on the subjects of reproductive toxicology, embryotoxicity, and developmental toxicology.
BARBARA D. ABBOTT is Research Biologist in the Reproductive Toxicology Division of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA.
