James G. Wilson's Six Principles of Teratology
نویسنده
چکیده
James Graves Wilson's six principles of teratology [4], published in 1959, guide research on teratogenic agents and their effects on developing organisms. Wilson's six principles were inspired by Gabriel Madeleine Camille Dareste's five principles of experimental teratology [4] published in 1877. Teratology is the study of birth defects [5], and a teratogen is something that either induces or amplifies abnormal embryonic or fetal development and causes birth defects [5]. Detailed in his 1973 monograph, Environment and Birth Defects, Wilson's principles helped scientists research teratogens experimentally.
