Preface Developmental toxicology is a unique, integrated field, containing concepts from developmental biology, embryology, nutrition, genetics, cellular and molecular biology, and general toxicology. Assimilation of these diverse disciplines provides a specific means to evaluate alterations to normal developmental patterning and signaling and to assess mechanisms of congenital malformations, changes to neurobehavioral status, and increased embryonic death. Amazingly, nearly approximately 3% of all live births manifest with a structural or functional birth de
