State of the art in developmental toxicity screening methods and a way forward: a meeting report addressing embryonic stem cells, whole embryo culture, and zebrafish

Birth Defects Res B Dev Reprod Toxicol. 2008 Aug;83(4):446-56. doi: 10.1002/bdrb.20158.

Abstract

A meeting was convened so that users of three models for in vitro developmental toxicity (embryonic stem cells, whole embryo culture, and zebrafish) could share their experiences with each model, and explore the areas for improvement. We present a summary of this meeting and the recommendations of the group.
