Volume 35 proves to be essential reading for anyone interested in reactions between retinoid signaling pathways and the genes regulating cell proliferation/survival, developmentally-regulated changes in the nuclear envelope, the developmental roles of the EGFR, or ErbB family, the correspondence between phylogeny and life history in polyembryonic insect development, control of cadherin function by extracellular signals, the importance of the Spemann organizer for neural induction, and the study of signal transduction in Drosophila melanogaster.
This volume continues the custom of addressing developmental mechanisms in a variety of experimental systems by offering timely reviews and incisive analysis of key research in developmental biology.
Current Topics in Developmental Biology is a long-standing series that provides comprehensive surveys of major topics in the field of developmental biology.
Advances in Genetics increases its focus on modern human genetics and its relation to medicine with the merger of this long-standing serial with Molecular Genetic Medicine.
This volume of Advances in Genetics illustrates the series goal to publish the most current, up-to-date reviews in the field of molecular and human genetics.
Volume 32 of Advances in Genetics: Incorporating Molecular Genetic Medicine focuses on important and fast moving subjects in modern human genetics and medicine.
Mammalian oocytes occupy a critical nexus in reproduction as they not only contribute half the genetic makeup of the embryo but also provide virtually all of the cytoplasmic building blocks required for sustaining embryogenesis.
Cell migration is a key component of many biological processes including embryonic development, immune responses, wound healing, organ regeneration, and cancer cell metastasis, thus making it an exciting and crucial field of study.
This book is an an up-to-date survey and summary of present knowledge and future expectations regarding the environmental causes of congenital malformations in human beings, beginning with the earliest discoveries of the 20th century up to the latest ideas and problems at its end, presents views and comments on the progress made over the century in understanding human prenatal maldevelopment.
This book represents a classic compilation of current knowledge about mouse development and its correlates to research in cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, and neuroscience.
Metamorphosis addresses various facets of postembryonic development, particularly signal transduction, morphogenesis, cell-cell interactions, and programmed cell death.
Fertilization provides in-depth reviews of individual research topics, while emphasizing key concepts and the significance of findings within other fields.
Cell Lineage and Fate Determination provides a comprehensive view of the mechanisms regulating cell lineage and fate determination in an effort to understand how the fertilized egg is transformed into a complex of specialized tissues.
