This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date account of research on the effect of elevated temperature on developmental programs and on the possible roles of heat shock proteins in normal development in animals and plants.

Spermatogenesis is one of the fundamental but at the same time also one of the most complex differentiation processes in higher eukaryotes.

Four of the major animal systems studied for the mechanismsof their early embryonic development are treated in thisvolume.

One of the oldest problems in developmental biology is the differentiation between germ line and somatic cells.

Cytokines and cytokine receptors remain an area of great interest for the development of targeted therapies for cutaneous inflammatory diseases.

With the excitement in the research and clinical communities over the potential of regenerative medicine, scientists hope to develop novel therapies to target intractable degenerative diseases.

Methylation of DNA at cytosine residues as well as post-translational modifications of histones, including phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation and ubiquitylation, contribute to the epigenetic information carried by chromatin.

It is instructive to compare the response of biologists to the two themes that comprise the title of this volume.

The majority of studies devoted to animal development traditionally start out from questions of morphogenesis.

There was a period in the history of modern biology when proteins were thought to be "e;gene products"e; in a rather direct sense.

Earlier titles in this series have directed attention to selected questions of current theoretical or practical interest in developmental biology, without special emphasis upon individual biological systems.

The informational content of cells is encoded in the nucleotide sequences of their DNA.

The first volume of the series, on "e;The Stability of the Differentiated State"e; received many favorable reviews from the scientific community.

The relationship of cell lineage and differentiation is one of the most intriguing problems in developmental biology.
