Teratologic
Teratologic is a medicinal activity that is used to study the effects of drugs, chemicals, and other agents on the development of embryos and fetuses. It is an important part of preclinical research as it helps to identify potential risks associated with certain chemicals and drugs before they are used in humans. This type of research is conducted by exposing embryos or fetuses to specific agents and then studying the effects on their development. This can include changes in the physical structure, biochemical activity, and gene expression of the developing organism. The results of these studies can provide important information about the safety of a drug or chemical before it is used in humans, helping to reduce the risk of birth defects or other health problems in the future.
