Ivermectin exposition during neurulation induces Neural tube defects and neuromuscular alterations in Xenopus laevis through purinergic P2X4-signaling.

This study shows that ivermectin exposure during neurulation in Xenopus laevis causes neural tube defects and neuromuscular changes via P2X4 purinergic signaling.

Vesicular glutamate release is necessary for neural tube formation

This study shows that vesicular glutamate release via VGluT1 is essential for neural tube formation in Xenopus laevis embryos, as its disruption leads to neural tube defects.
