Overview
Contributors stress the role of tissue interactions in orchestrating molecular expression during growth and pattern formation. Special consideration is given to developmental anomalies and differences between limb development and regeneration. Topics include formation of the regeneration blastema; growth of the limb bud and blastemia; and the patterning of these structures.Editorials

This volume (in two parts) appears at a pivotal time for the study of pattern formation. The data from decades of experimental manipulation of the limb are now being used to help gain perspective and understanding on the explosion of descriptive information on the molecular biology of amniote development. These proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Limb Development and Regeneration, held in Asilomar, California, July 1992, comprise 81 papers on such topics as the role of Hox genes in limb development; expression of homeobox genes in limb regeneration; why does a limb look like a limb?; lessons from extra digits, analysis of the mutant axolotl short toes; endothelial cell differentiation in the chick limb; in vitro mammalian limb differentiation as an experimental model; and retinoic acid and limb pattern formation. Parts A and B are not sold separately. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
