At present, these scientists might be working with test tubes or with animals, but each bit of knowledge sheds light on the problem of birth defects in humans, At the University of California in San Francisco, Dr. C. Willet Asling and his colleagues are studying birth defects caused by temporary deficiencies of vitamins and minerals at crucial stages during pregnancy. They are experimenting with rats, trying to learn why certain embryonic tissues are affected by dietary lack. This work may throw light on the mechanism of some birth defects in man.

These studies are important because it is known that lack of oxygen can lead to some types of deformities in birth as readily as can certain chemicals or radiation. Dr. Grabowskis studies with chick embryos will add to the knowledge of how certain agents produce specific birth defects. At Columbia University In New York City, the work of Dr. Melvin T.

At Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., a team headed by Dr. Robert W. Noyes is studying the way a sperm cell penetrates an egg cell at the moment of conception in rabbits. They especially want to know whether abnormalities in that first penetration could be the cause of birth defects which show up at birth or even in later years.

If scientists knew more about the normal growth from single cell to baby, they would be closer to understanding how this process can break down, and perhaps be closer to preventing birth defects. At Yale University in New Haven, Conn., Dr. Dorothy M. Horstmann is studying the spread of the rubella virus, seeking means of detecting its presence in the body, and, in general, laying the groundwork for the development of a vaccine against this virus. Rubella German measles is usually only a minor annoyance to children, but it is a potential tragedy to women during the first three months of pregnancy. Research shows that if a woman gets this disease early in pregnancy, her baby has a chance of being born with one or more serious birth defects.
