Mammalian Development

This book is a collection of essays on the developmental biology of mammals. The classical approach to embryology, combined with the powerful recombinant DNA technologies, have created in developmental biology one of the most active areas of biological research. It not only aids understanding of how the body and brain are formed, but also furthers knowledge in fields with direct clinical importance such as gene regulation, cancer, regeneration, wound healing, bone, kidney, and muscle development.
