This volume examines cells set aside during development for use
later in ontogeny or in adult life. There is no single term for
such cells. The cells explored fall within several major categories
- stem cells, set-aside cells (in echinoderm larvae), imaginal
discs in insects such as Drosophila, meristems (plants), blastemata
(regeneration in amphibians), neoblasts (regeneration in
planarians). The book compares and contrasts these cell types and
the environments (niches) in which they operate with the aim of
unravelling any relationships between them, between their
activation in development, and in their evolution. Key Features
Explores the nature of deferred-use cells in evolutionary and
developmental context. Reviews the mechanisms of development of
set-aside cells, such as stem cells, meristems, and imaginal discs.
Provides phylogenetic overview of different types of deferred-use
cells. Compares and contrasts different theories on the origin of
deferred-use cells. Related Titles Calegari, F. & C. Waskow,
