Overview
Prominent experts offer a mix of biophysical and biochemical perspectives along with more biological treatments. Describes the interactions of growth factors and their receptors as well as the subsequent signal transduction pathways they activate, stressing the role of these signals in directing developmental events. Organized to contrast diverse types of receptor and growth factor initiated signals such as tyrosine kinase receptors, serine kinases, protein phosphatases and G-proteins.Editorials

Describes the interactions of several key growth factors, their receptors, and the subsequent signal transduction pathways they activate. The emphasis is on the role of these signal pathways in directing developmental events. The contributors provide a mix of molecular and biochemical perspectives as well as more integrative treatments of the well-studied amphibian, nematode, and insect developing systems. Significant aspects of mouse development are included in chapters that focus on particular growth factors. Most chapters contain comparative analyses of the role of growth factors, as well as their signal transduction mechanisms in these different developing systems. Includes a glossary of proteins and genes. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
