Movie 3
Cranial neural tube closure is restored by combination of TPEN and zinc supplementation.
Culture of a 9 somite VenMyr mouse embryo with both 15μM TPEN and 25μM zinc allows cranial neural tube closure although neural tube closure was delayed to 14hr 48min±3hr 33min (n=6).
Zinc deficiency causes neural tube defects through attenuation of p53 ubiquitylation
