Biomechanical mechanisms of neural tube closure
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are amongst the commonest birth defects, affecting 1 in 1000 pregnancies. During neurulation, failure of neural tube closure in the low spinal region (at the posterior neuropore, PNP) results in spina bifida. Mechanical force relationships in the normally closing neural tu...
