Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Raeden Gray"
- Raeden Gray’s research primarily focuses on understanding the cellular mechanisms underlying ethanol-induced developmental defects, specifically within the context of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) and their impact on craniofacial malformations.
- A key finding from his recent work suggests that mutations in the Bone Morphogenetic Protein (Bmp) signaling pathway may increase sensitivity to ethanol, contributing to jaw malformations observed in both zebrafish and humans.
- Gray utilizes zebrafish as a powerful model organism due to their genetic and developmental similarities to humans, enhancing our understanding of the complex pathology associated with prenatal ethanol exposure and the resulting structural and cognitive impairments.
